Hello Everyone,
Although I've been lurking around for a few weeks I am glad to say that I'm a newly registered user to this forum. Lot's of great stuff here for a beginner like myself.
I'm tearing down an 8530 mill and am stuck at removing the cross slide (y axis) from the knee. The lead screw nut under the slide prevents the part from sliding off the knee.
According to the exploded view of the assembly, it looks like the nut is press fit into the part but I am hesitant to drive the nut out. I'd rather err on the side of caution and get some knowledgeable feedback before moving forward with this part of the tear down.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious or did I miss a step somewhere?
Any/all help and insight is appreciated,
Michael
