I have a 1969 Regal 15" that I put into my shop this last July. It's been under moderate use the last month or so and usually running at the higher speeds. Today I was using it and I noticed a new sound. While shutting it down I notice the spindle squeaking. When in neutral it feels much tighter than it was previously. I'm worried that one of the spindle bearings is starting to seize up. Unfortunately I can get to the right head stock bearing (which is where I think the problem is coming from) without dismantling a lot of the headstock. It's been properly oiled and the headstock oil is at the required level.
Anyone has any advice or ideas as to how to diagnose the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
