Clausing Mill #8520 Dismantle

[razinman]

Hi All,

I've have a CLausing Mill #8520, I wanted to dismantle it in order to cleans and paint.
I'm a little confused as to how to take apart the table , it has bearings on both ends of the table
into the lead screw. There is a housing that is fitted around the bearings which I tried
to back out(with a gear puller) , it started to move but before I continued I wanted someone else's opinion.

Thanks.............razin

I've had mine apart and I did not need a puller of any kind. If I recall correctly I removed the table end cap containing the bearing by working it off of the lead screw. I suspect you may have some old coolant or something that got between the inner race of the bearing and the lead screw, causing your difficulty.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the info., I used a gear puller with a little struggle and it finally came off.
It was seating around for over 10 years and now it time to bring it alive again!!!!!!!
