First of all scroll thru photos as I have captions describing that step.All it takes is removal of three fasteners and backing the quill stop adjuster from pointer nut.Quill is then free to remove from machine.
1) Position quill over wood block in vise with quill extended 2-3 inches down almost on block.
2) As per owners manual see quill return spring adjustment.Slowly release spring tension and quill will ease down to contact block.
3) Remove spring package and brass colored screw.
4) See photo to remove one 5 mm set screw that the locks the second set.Insert wrench and find second set and turn it 10 rounds counterclockwise.Do not remove this one.Its purpose is to keep quill aligned in machine head.
5) Move to right side see pics to decide how much of quill feed assy.you want to remove.Note you can remove whole assy.in its entirety after removing two 6 mm socket head screws.
6) You can either manually or with machine power raise head to top limit switch.Quill is ready to remove.5 minuets or less.
Final assembly and ready to go back in reverse order.Two hours total time .
