The abene manual mentions regreasing the spindle bearings. I have the proper grease and new seals and the machine all apart but I'm not certain how to get the spindle shaft out of the casting.
Currently I have removed all the top end parts except the deep groove ball bearing radial type. ie drawbar, locknut and tabbed washer, thrust bearing.
I have also removed the retaining ring holding the ring gear.
Not sure where to go from here. I have a 40 ton press with lots of working space but don't want to break anything.
Anyone that has already been through this task care to lend their knowledge.
Thanks
