get a 1X8 nut, cut it in half, put it on the threads of the spindle, put a
wrench on it so that the wrench holds the nut closed, and unscrew it - it
will push the spur out as you unscrew it.

(if you get desparate, I do sell nuts alone, but you ought to be able to
find one locally for a few $$)

I have owned a Jet 1236 lathe for about 2 years and for the first time
today I tried to remove the spur center so I could install a Nova

pushed the drift rod as hard as I can, tapped it with a mallet and hit
it considerably harder than a tap with the mallet to no avail. I have
also put oil around the spur center and have the threaded index pin in
place but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
