Ok I'm stuck, I want to remove the chuck from my lathe,a Colchester Master Mk 2, Clausing 80000? this has the American taper L0 secured by a large threaded collar.
I've read the manual, no help, searched the groups, nope.
I don't want to break anything so I thought I'd ask.
People I've spoken to have said use the large c spanner (got that) and shock the collar loose, but the spindle & chuck just turn, the collar doesn't loosen. Tried pieces of wood to chock the chuck, bars in chuck, you name it.
I don't want to put the lahte in gear and heave 'cos it might break the gear etc.
Ideas ?
TIA
