VM25L R8 mill bad noise on spindle.

I guess this is what I’m preparing myself for now. I need to look at the equipment required to do a full refit of the bearings. Alternatively I pay someone to do this for me.

I've only just seen your other thread about removing the spindle and adjusting the preload, the bottom nut is just a cap that locks the bearing in place the adjustment is just on the upper and you have to slacken off the 2 locking screws first remembering to tighten them after

Thanks Andy. I’ve tried tightening this up and it seemed to have some effect but then the noise was more sporadic but there.
Can this be tightened up really tight? It seemed to be tight anyway before I loosened it and then tightened back up.

I need a pin spanner to do it properly.

Having said that I’m probably best doing as you did and add new bearings

Are you anywhere near me in South Yorkshire?
