Hello All, uploaded a video file to show the problem with bearing. This is a fixer upper watch makers lathe. Seller told me the bearing is jumpy. But it does not rotate more than a quarter.
It appears stuck. I am looking for guidance from the experts here to understand what tools I would need to disassemble and reassemble the bearings (same or new depending on the condition) on the headstock safely without causing damage. Any precautions to take to prevent damage to the Bakelite pulley. Pulley is retained by a small hex screw. I have removed it. I have partially disassembled the headstock. Collet side bearing is barden 203SS and draw bar side bearing is small, barden 202SSX1. I am unsure if I will be reusing the bearings. Will get to know the condition after disassembly. I reached out for a quote, someone asked for $400 to disassemble and reassemble.. and cost of bearing will be additional. I can’t afford it. I have two other BB head stock lathes so i decided to learn how to do this. thank you the help..
