I've been running into some crunchy noises coming lately from the headstock of my little Delta 46-250 midi lathe lately - especially at higher speeds, and worsening over time - and I'm having trouble drawing any conclusion other than "I needs me some new bearings". I've got what I think (read: hope) are the right parts, but has anyone done a replacement on one of these units who can give me a brief rundown on the procedure?
I've removed the pair of setscrews holding on the handwheel, and the one setscrew from the pulley, but the spindle doesn't seem like it's inclined to come out, and I'm a little hesitant to just start pounding on the end of it with a dead-blow hammer.
