thanks...very hesitant to start drilling into the machine
the screws are allen cap screws
the issue is not the screws per se...they screw in and screw out
the issue is alignment - i cannot get the hole in the lead screw to line up exactly right - so, as i back out the nut screws, it interferes with the lead screw and gets stuck
LI said not to press that b/c it can strip the threads in the quill (big pita)
i am thinking i need to take the head apart a bit to free up the lead screw at the top?
there are four allen cap screws that hold on the wheel assembly with the worm gear that drives the lead screw
there are 4 allen cap screws on the left side that hold on the auto feed assembly
not sure exactly what to do...
