So the videos you found were pretty well correct about spindle disassembly? My chuck spins around two times when I do it by hand.

These 2 videos helped get a good idea how the spindle is assembled.

A big thank you to these YouTuber's for educating us newbies.
Mine now spins about two turns when spinning by hand when in neutral.
Before the repair I might have gotten a 1/2 to 3/4 turn before it stopped.
If anyone is going to do this job on the G0768, you need to be aware that the speed sensor is engaged around a sensor ring that is bolted to the spindle. To properly remove the spindle and do the bearings one has to take the front cover off where the speed DRO is and loosen the two Allen head screws to remove the sensor. Then the rest is just like the videos. The second video was very helpful.These 2 videos helped get a good idea how the spindle is assembled.
