40 forum posts 15 photos	Hello Roy, forgot to say its an ML7, the ball handle unscrews easily but not sure how to remove the threaded rod that moves the slide.

175 forum posts	Hello DW, its called a feedscrew and once the slide has been wound back and removed from the saddle and the ball handle unscrewed, the feed dial is then unscrewed from the end of the feedscrew which then can be removed from the bearing. Hope this helps. Rick
