Hub Separation
To install the hub adapter to the outboard spindle
1.Remove the hub adapter from the draw tube assembly.
2.Unscrew the cap screws, shown in Figure 2, holding the two pieces of the hub adapter together. NoteÑThe hub adapter halves are machined for a very tight fit. Once the cap screws are removed, hit them apart with a rubber mallet.

5.Replace the lathe cover and secure the bot- tom knob. Note—You may have to bore out the lathe cover spindle hole to a larger diam- eter for the hub adapter to fit through and operate correctly.

Pivot Connector
To install the pivot connector:
Remove the pivoting rod connector from the draw tube assembly by removing the 8mm cap screw and threading it onto the replacement stud as shown in Figure 5. Make sure you have replaced the lathe cover!
This pivot will allow the locking yoke to be secured to the lathe while providing a range of motion to engage the locking mechanism. The pivot connector should be secured tightly to the stud and the pivot pin should be in a horizontal position, allowing the pivot to move up and down.
