Hi All I finely got my lathe working and by the third part the spindle bearings start to seize. Its a brand new BVC25A belt driven lathe. I managed to pack some grease in the back bearing when I first started with the build but there is no way to get to the front bearing. Does anyone know how to remove the spindle shaft in order to look at what they did with the bearings. I have a feeling the Chinese builder did not fit thrust bearings anywhere. I tried the mallet but nothing moved. I dont want to strip the head stock off if I dont have to as I have a lot of wires, switches and encoders permanently mounted.
