I broke the top belt on my mark v. Never chaned it before. I believe it is called the Gimler belt? Anyway I have almost completely dissambled the thing and I cant get the Drive sleeve assembly out. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem...

First I applied some penetrating oil with a hypodermic needle around the drive sleeve assembly.

Then I used a heat gun on the headstock casting that holds the drive sleeve assembly...got it nice and hot.

Then pushed with the quill and out it came.

I'm just guessing, but I think the heat gun alone would have done it...

Providing the set screw that holds it in was removed prior.

Welcome to the forum.

Are you talking about the set screw on a 10E/10ER drive sleeve? I don't believe there are any set screws holding the drive sleeve in a Mark V, just the retaining ring.

No, I was talking about the quill. Got 'em mixed up. I'm getting rusty. Looks like I need to tackle restoration of 'pinky' to refresh my memory as to what the parts are called.
