566 forum posts 31 photos	There should be three markings on the spindle nose for each fastening " \|" at 12 O' Clock and "V" at 3 and 6 O'Clock. The line on the locking clamp should be between the two "V" for locked. Turn anti clockwise to the "\|" to release.That's how Colchester did it on the chipmaster, others may vary the markings, but the principle will be the same.
