Myford ML8 Pulley removal
(1/1)
Andy Coates:
Hello folks,
does anybody have any experience of removing the pulley from the mandrel of a Myford ML8? If so would you be so kind as to detail the procedure for a struggling turner? Not me, I should add!
many thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
I have never done it myself but if he is having trouble getting the pulley off check that there are not 2 grub screws, one above the other.
Regards
JOHN BHT
Andy Coates:
Thanks for that. I had already suggested the same thing to him.
I've sent him to Tony at LATHES.CO.UK as there were no answers elsewhere.
cheers

I had 2 grubscrews holding my pulley on a coronet 2 - when I took them out, I found that the puley was firmly stuck on the spindle, so some wooden wedges and a hammer got it to move. Afterwards, before putting it back, cleaning the spindle helped as there was a build up of dirt/oil/debris on the spindle on either side of the pulley location --- good luck and persevere with it -- Bruce

P.S I forgot to say that a friend has an ML8 for sale - located in Hemel Hempstead
