4. Using a 3mm hex wrench, remove the four

set screws (Figure 4) from the saddle.

5. Using a 17mm wrench, remove the lock nut (Figure 4) from the end of the lead screw.

Note: Make sure to keep the correct race with its original bearing, and do not hammer on the casting or chisel the inner races out. The inner race has a loose fit. If it is difficult to remove from its seat, be patient and spray some penetrating oil into the bore and carefully work the race out from the grease suction that is holding it. You can also soak the casting in mineral spirits to break this suction.

7. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the eight flat head screws and the taper attachment top plate (Figure 6).

8. Using a 5mm hex wrench, loosen the slide block set screw, as shown in Figure 7.
