Two of the locking nuts on my Bridgeport J-head are stripped out. The lower left one will tighten up a little, but not completely. The lower right one just spins the stud like there's nothing there. Top two are ok.
Looking at the diagrams for these, it looks like i should be able to remove the head if I take these four nuts off. Am I missing anything here? I will support the head with the overhead crane before loosening them.
As for getting the parts, I'm looking at this manual, page 76. http://www.bluechipmachineshop.com/books/BP_Mill_Series1_Manual.pdf
Looks like the bolt, spacer and nut are items 155,156,157 - but the parts list says it only has 2 of each. Are there two other bolts I need for this? I want to get new parts in before I take this apart.
Thanks
