59 forum posts 6 photos	Hi Just trying to set up my new SX2P mill. Instructions say insert pin in column and turn wrench counter clockwise . Tried this but it seems to be tightening it up. There seems to be a grub screw on the actual collar, wondered if I had to remove this first. Anyone got one of these. Mike

59 forum posts 6 photos	My mill has the hole on the spindle, not very easy to get a grip on . Tried turning the nut on the top anti clockwise , goes about 1/8 th of a turn then locks solid. How much force should this take to release it , afraid of breaking something. Mike

Mike OK, you’ve managed it. I was going to suggest a C spanner of suitable dimensions would be good for a secure grip
