Rockwell Vertical Mill Owners....
Marty-
I had one apart last winter. The spanner nut is held in place by a tab washer. IIRC, you have to release two of the tabs before removing the spanner nut. -Bill Fill "Marty Escarcega" wrote in message ... I am taking the head apart for inspection and cleaning on a Rockwell Vertical Mill, I have the motor housing off the head, but to get the spindle pulley out is a dickens. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have to remove that spanner nut on the bottom side of the pulley? I tried tapping at it with a punch no go. Is it right hand thread or left hand thread? I guess I need to make a spanner socket to get it loose. Any help or guidance appreciated! Marty |

The nut is recessed about 1-1/2" inside the pulley. I'll take a look tomorrow. Marty |
