How difficult is it to remove the spindle on the 10EE? I noticed today that my nose plate has been rotated one bolt hole and the weep hole is not at 6 o'clock. Based on this and other clues I think the previous owner removed the spindle to repaint and then installed the nose plate rotated one bolt hole off. I have a little oil weeping down the front of the headstock. Is it worth removing the spindle to put a new nose gasket in and reorient the nose piece, or does the difficulty of removing the spindle indicate I should just live with it?
On a related topic, is there a thread sealant that works if the threaded hole has oil in it?
