7 forum posts	Hi I'm trying to dismantle the tailstock from my ML7R. There's a turned steel component fixed into the back (right hand end) of the main casting - it has an oil nipple and a 1/4" hole in it. Myford call it a 'cap' in their diagram. It must be secured somehow, because it takes the thrust loads, but I'm being dense and I can't see what's holding it in place. There's a photo of it in GH Thomas' MEWM (photo 97) which seem to show two grooves. Can anyone give me a clue? Cheers John

2011 forum posts	No, but did "compatibility view" and refreshed, OK now. This does not usually work though.

7 forum posts	Thanks David - that's what I needed to see. Stone me! It was on pretty damn tight, but I rummaged out a C spanner and a 2' tube that fit over the handle. That shifted it. Cheers John
