I have a Chinese 12x36 geared-head lathe with an oil leak from the seal
on the end of the shaft that drives the quadrant gear train. I figured I
could get to the seal by removing the cover, so I removed the three
cap-head screws and started levering it off with a couple of
screw-drivers. I can get it off enough to insert the legs of a puller
behind it, but the cover won't come off. It appears to come to a hard
stop and I'm afraid of exerting even more pressure encase I break
something. It feels as though there is a circlip behind the seal. The
following link shows a photo of the problem.

Can somebody tell me how to proceed please?
