So I'd been using my Rikon 70-050VS lathe as nothing but a buffing wheel, so have to now remove the parts that were holding that in place for literally years, in order to use it for turning. I couldn't loosen it by hand or by any other method I tried. I finally found, in a box of supplies, the spanner that will fit around the area that the bottom yellow area points to, but in order to get counterforce, I need something- that may have been a knockout bar that I misplaced- to insert into the two arrow section so that I can twist these in opposite directions in order to remove that face plate. I looked all through the manual and can't find anything about a size and all the rod type pieces of metal I had in my shop are too big. Anyone know what size this might be so that I could go to somewhere like a hardware store and just get a metal rod? I want to be able to remove the faceplate so I can screw on bottle stopper mandrels.
Thank you!
