I think this was for me. It is a lot of work, but also good practice on threading and practice in general (which I need). As far as removing and installing the cover, the take up nut that came on my lathe does not leave space for the cover to be on at all. It's a great big ghastly thing that I should replace.That sounds like a lot of unnecessary work just to avoid removing the cover. Remove the cover, set the bearing pre-load to factory specs, and reinstall the cover. Check the preload maybe annually.
