>Removing the cross slide screw...
I was wondering that too, possibly removing bolts (5) & collar (7) & uncrewing out. The handle & graduation dial & detant ball/spring thingy has to come off first, it seems similar to the compound assembly I took apart. But mostly I'm concerned about the bearing cluster staying intact with the assembly & didnt want to mess with that if I didnt have to.
They show that cylindrical part (77) I was referring to seperately but maybe it just for illustration purposes. I think its pressed in & supposed to stay put. That seemed like the easiest thing to focus on. If it was temporarily up & out of the way with cao screw removed, the leadscrew nut would no longer be engaged to the table & it would slide
