5. remove the nut and lock washer on the bear-
ing block stud, as shown in figure 4, and
repeat on the other side.
6. Wearing heavy leather gloves, carefully
remove the cutterhead from the casting (see
figure 5).
note: Your cutterhead may have paper shims
stuck to the bearing block or where the bear-
ing block rests. These were included at the
factory when they calibrated your cutterhead
to be even with the outfeed table. Your new
cutterhead may or may not need these. If
you see any shims, carefully pull them off
and set them aside for later use—or keep
them with your cutterhead in the event that
you Re-install it later. Also, mark the side of
the cutterhead where they were used, so the
future install will go smoothly.
7. remove the bearing block studs from the
bearing blocks.
8. Loosen the two pulley set screws and use a
pulley puller to remove the pulley (see page
5). Make sure to remove the key from the
cutterhead shaft keyway and set it aside so
it does not get lost or fall out during the next
step.
