Anyone using a PSI mandrel saver on a Rikon lathe? How do you remove the mandrel saver from the tailstock? It will not eject with the quill fully retracted and the insrtuctions state not to use a knockout bar to remove it.

use a small piece of scrap wood (longer than the gap between the mandrel saver and the tailstock body when fully retracted) and place it behind the mandrel saver, then retract tailstock fully.
the wood will push on the MS and the TS and push out the MS.
