Stuck Revolving Centre in Tailstock Spindle

[Wongster]

Hello guys,

Thank you so much for all your inputs.

Trying to break the "grip" by knocking didn't work. I inserted a steel rod into the threaded end of the spindle and tried hitting it with a metal hammer hoping to break the "grip". The steel rod ended up with a slight mushroom on the end I hit.

Would the U-Shaped wedge and space work like the above?

There is no slot on the spindle that I can insert a drift key.

I'll read through the post on the link DaveH posted to see if there is something I can do.

I'll try Sunset Machine's suggestion of leaving some pressure overnight. Maybe by the time I wake up the spindle will be pressed out.

Regards,
Wong
