Hi All
I have a model 40 mill - c. 1949 - the motor pulley belt comes to a "transfer station" in the middle of the upper part of the mill, which is a plate with a pulley on top and a pulley on the bottom of a common shaft - the top is driven by the motor and pulley on the bottom is driven by the top pulley and then via a belt drives the head
where the shaft goes through the plate there is a hollow that fits 2 bearings that the common shaft for the 2 pulleys goes through
i am replacing those 2 bearings
i pressed the shaft and it came out of the plate with the 2 bearings on
i can't seem to press the shaft out of the 2 bearings - is there a tip or a trick?
the top bearing seems to have a cap of some sort over part of it - i don't know if that is machined as part of the shaft or is movable
at any rate, i pressed from the top (i.e., not against that cap) - i put a lot of pressure on it and nothing budged - so there is something that i am not following
again, it appears to go cap, bearing, spacer, bearing (possibly on a bushing)
any suggestions?
thanks
