15 forum posts 1 photos	I intend replacing the damaged toolpost stud on my Myford Super 7. I have bought a new one from Myford, and am cautiously trying to remove the old one but it is not obvious to me how it is attached, and I don't want to cause further damage. Myford offer a pin, which presumably goes into a hole provided in the flange of the new stud, and stops the stud from turning, but what is the purpose of the three grub screws that are obstinately refusing to unscrew at present? Any advice would be very welcome.
