I also took the opportunity to give everything a thorough cleaning and make sure all of my gibs and ways were in good adjustment. This project was seemingly daunting, but it went smoother and quicker than I even thought and the end result is well worth the money and effort. I did use this as a general guideline as well as spindle pulling ideas: http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/projects/C3_BC/pages/index.html This is also a very helpful article for removing the spindle from the headstock: http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Tuning/headstock/Headstock.htm These are the parts I obtained from LittleMachineShop.com: Tapered Roller Bearings http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=2822&category=5 Replacement Motor Pulley http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1205&category=5 Replacement Spindle Gears (Steel) http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=3451&category=5 http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=3453&category=5
