How to remove Norton 6x18 Spindle?
I'm trying to remove the spindle on my Norton 6x18 surface grinder to replace the bearings. Its the ball bearing spindle with the integral motor. I started to take it apart and found out I was actually taking the whole cartridge apart. I want to slide the whole cartridge out and disassemble it on a workbench. I've been playing around with it, and aside from the two setscrews I cant see anything else holding it in, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how the damn thing comes out. Has anyone ever pulled one of these before, or know how its done?
