I thought I remembered one also.

I just took a look at it.

It ain't got no washer!

I must have been seeing things in the pix!

The spring is just slightly larger than the nut corners. That is why the socket was necessary.







I would have sworn it had a washer!!!!!:o

Really? Here I thought it was old timers disease!;)

[quote="JPG40504"]Here's one way!

Socket mounted in chuck mounted on ss output shaft, use quill to position socket/nut, depressing spring, manually rotate motor pulley to advance nut. Motor sitting on board sitting on way tubes. Nut spaced inside socket so as to be at open end of socket.

Precise alignment important!]

Wow! That's an excellent idea. I saved you notes and picture if I ever need to remove that nut, which I don't plan to do.

If you DO decide to remove it, GOOD LUCK:D! Far more difficult than reassembly. I do not think the one in the pix had been removed since its DOB!

Not the first time my memeory has failed me.

I think we both be guilty of thinking about the current ss inc variation.
