I hope this is the correct place to post this if not mod please move to correct sub forum.
Anyway I have King Rich KRV 3000 that needs new bearings. The spindle bearings are noisy so these are to be replaced. My problem is the nose cap is stuck. Unlike the BP this mill has an NT40 spindle so the nose cap has no pin holes. I have removed the set screw and can see the threads which look like RH.
I have a Milwaukee adjustable chain wrench that I put a 600mm pipe extension on but the darn thing still will not budge, I mean NO movement at all. Before I heat the cap with the torch I thought I would ask if anyone had any ideas. It did cross my mind to pull the quill and machine the cap off.........
