It's been a busy summer and my progress has been slow on the mill, but I'm back on it now. My current task is disassembling the quill. I have gotten the lock nut and the bearing preload nut off of the bottom end (after a lot of effort). Now what? The drawing shows something called a bearing removal ring that could be accessed via the plugged hole on the side of the quill. It's not apparent to me how this would be used though. It looks to me like the spindle could be pressed out from either end, but I don't want to mash on it until I know for sure.
