I have one of the HF series 100 QCTPs. With one of the pressure pads moved
outward, loosen the screw and rotate the pad 90 degrees, then twist the
screw back in just to hold the "lifter" clear of the cam. If the original
screws are too short, use any screws of the same size/pitch.
Do the same to the second lifter, and the cam lifts out. removing the screws
will allow the lifters and springs to be removed from the cam well.

It may be best to keep the lifters and pads in their original locations.

I've been using a really thick, gooey/sticky synthetic lube for brake
calipers in situations where significant pressure is present. It's been
performing well in the QCTP, tailstock ram feed screws, drill press rack 'n
pinion and a few other enclosed applications.

Can any of you direct me to a exploded drawing of a Phase 2 piston type
toolpost? I'd like to take mine apart to clean and lube but cannot get the

cam
out. Feels like there may be springs attatching the pistons and I am

reluctant
to force anything trying to find how it dissassembels. Thanks!
