    Re: emco pc mill 50 & similar

    Hey all,

    Looking for a clue about how to remove the spindle motor from the headstock on an Emco PC Mill 50. I have the head off the mill and the back cover removed. It looks like I need to remove the front cover but it's captured in place by the tool release lever. Does the lever have to be removed somehow?

    There has to be something simple I'm missing.
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, I figured it out. The release lever is left-hand threaded and unscrews. I knew it was something simple.
