Hello. First post here. I bought a South Bend 13" lathe with the collet closer, taper attachment attached to the lathe. I took everything apart to clean but I cannot figure out how the closer comes out. The only thing left is the collar that screws on to the threaded tail end of the spindle. I can see a slot on that tail end . Theres also a hole on the collar aligned with that slot. Wondering if theres a key in there that prevents the collar from unscrewing. But how does it come off? Thanks in advance
