I did a similar think with my lathe but fortunately I have white metal bearings, so I just have to remove two end caps and lift the whole spindle assembly out. The down side is it takes two people to lift it out.
I'm looking forward to seeing this thread unfold...
Thanks for the comment. Babbit bearings make the job easier, but I wonder in the end will having to re-pour the bearings eventually be the down side.
