I recently picked up this 1965 L&S 1408. Seems to have been well maintained, not much wear to be found. But the headstock seems a little noisy and I get that howling "spalling" sound coming from the left side of the headstock at higher speeds. Bad bearing? Possibly the bearing at the left end of the spindle?
If so, how does that bearing come out? Seems like it's pressed onto the shaft. If I need to pull the spindle, is it a straightforward procedure (meaning, if the bearing retaining bolts are loosened up should the spindle assembly basically slide out of the right side of the housing)? I've pulled spindles on mills before, but never a lathe.
Thanks in advance,

(Pictures are all rotated 90 degrees. Doesn't seem to matter what the orientation is in the original file. That's something else I need to learn how to fix)
