Repairing Atlas 10" lathe

[bogstandard]

I'm sorry I haven't been available recently, health and bereavement issues reared their ugly heads.

I have done the spindle removal many times, and there is a definite knack to it.

It is very tight indeed, and the first thing you need to to is get the bull gear back towards the change gear end as much as possible, and the spindle as far forwards as it will go.

Then a slight tap on the top of the key in the position shown on the sketch should rotate the key in it's half round slot. As long as where you hit is further back than the centre position of the key, this should work.
