I've got a 10k (2286KAR7) I picked up a couple years ago and I've been slowly getting it back into working order, cleaning rewicking and so on. I've largely finished everything except the drive unit and I ran into an issue. At some point in the past I think a previous own started greasing the countershaft bearings (one bronze, one cast iron I think) instead of oiling them. Now the passages are totally blocked with what I assume are hardened wicks and I can't get anything through them. None of the parts breakdowns I've seen show the type of oilers I have on this style of horizontal drive so I'm not sure how to get them removed without totally destroying them, but I feel like they need to be removed if I'm going to access those passages for cleanout and wick replacement. I've included a few pictures for reference. If anyone has some thoughts on getting these oilers out without destroying them or rewicking them I'd love to hear them.
Thanks
