I have managed to get the horizontal arbour stuck my MT4 Deckel FP1.
How do I get it out ? I have tried undoing the draw bar as far as possible and striking it on the square end, I then applied a little heat to the protruding part of the spindle, still no good.
Next was to lock the drawbar square and fit a massive spanner to the flat in the arbour and lift its end with a hoist until the machine was off the ground, still stuck fast.
I have run out of ideas, would it be worth removing the spindle and trying to push the arbour out with a press, I suppose I could chop the end of the arbour off and then bore out the part in the taper to weaken it and then push it out.
These are desperate things to do so have you got any less extreme ideas?
Many thanks
