21 forum posts	Could anyone familiar with the Myford S7 help with a sanity check? I would like to move the motor-drive belt-guard backplate a few millimetres further away from the countershaft mount (to suit a new 3-phase motor, the shaft of which is slightly short). Have I understood correctly that the whole cone pulley and clutch assembly can be withdrawn without dismantling the clutch if I remove the grub screw from the cone pulley and the circlip next to that pulley? I could then introduce a couple of spacer washers behind the backplate.

56 forum posts	Yes. If you loosen the drive pulley grub screw, you can slide the pulley towards the tailstock, That gives enough clearance on the L to get a strong pair of bent circlip pliers in and release the circlip from its groove. The whole clutch/countershaft assembly will then slide out. Be careful not to lose the woodruff key, or the ball bearing in the RH end - both have a habit of vanishing into the depths of the machine - I'v never found my woodruff key - it was easier to buy a new one! It's best not to dismantle the clutch unit - it has a powerful spring it it which can come out sharply and is difficult to compress back into place.
