Hello Guys and Gals.
We had a break in Winter weather here in Colorado, yesterday was 57 and today 60 F so spend the last two days trying to get the spindle out of my Clausing 100/4800 lathe but when I try to remove the rear bearing, it slides up to the end of the threads and will come no futher. I can push the roller back into the race. Then slide it out over the threads then it sticks, I tapped the end of the shaft but will not slide forward. I have all the collars and pully set screws removed and the will side back and forward about 1/2” but the spindle stops when the rear bearing slides over the collar theads. I been messing with this thing for 2 days. I’m at my wits end. It has been great to be in the shop, this wearing me out.
Help please
