Mick,
I've seen with stainless where the nut gets stuck on - we would have to cut the nut off and re-die the thread - just spinning the nut on by hand
In the past talcum powder was used, I'm sure there is a modern product.
Sometimes in the main lathe spindle there is a hole I don't suppose there is a hole in yours.
It is also best not to have any thing against the gear box casting - I've seen them broken.
