I bought a Z axis power feed. Its installation manual calls for
removal of the part of the original mill shaft that I circled on the
first picture. (the manual is not written in the best English and it
is not easy to understand, so I may be misunderstanding it).

The part is shown on page 70 if the bridgeport manual on my page
above. It is called a "dial holder", item number 88 on the diagram.

Has anyone tried disassembling this shaft and how is this dial holder
attached? Do I need to press it out, or what? I would hate to break
the mill, etc.

Closer pictures would help. Though the manual doesn't seem to show it, I
notice a hole on the side of that part that makes me think there might
be a tapered pin or roll pin securing it.

As it turns out, it was threaded on. The hole is blind.

$220 on ebay. I cannot yet recommend it, as such, as I have not
installed it. It is called "ALSGS Z axis power feed" and thre are some
previous threads on practical machinist discussing it.

I got most everything to work, nicely, except that I lost the 3mm
shaft key, no big deal.
