Have a Taiwan made 10x24 that the oil seals for the spindle have gone bad. I could fill up the reservoir and it will be empty the next day. So I have started the disassembly but run into a problem. Has anyone taken one apart, IT is the same as the old Jet 10X24 or Grizzly 12x36 etc. Have it all down to the point where I would take the spindle out, but the bearings almost act like they are pressed on the spindle, In addition The bull gear is also like it is pressed on. Took all of the set screws out of the collars and was able to get the rear bearing to move about 1/2 inch on by taping the spindle forward, but then the Bull gear starts hiting and have been unable to get it to move. Thus siting with the spindle part way out of the head. Need to get it all the way out so I can verify the seal sizes to order replacements. And to inspect the bearings. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ken
