Drill Press Disassembly Question
Charlie Anderson in Southern Maryland
>I bought a HF drill press which had a few issues. HF has sent me new parts, but I'm not sure what to expect when I disassemble it.
I'm replacing the hub-pinion (according to the parts list) to which the handles attach. It goes through the press where there's a torsion spring. The 'spring' consists of 4 parts. How do I safely disassemble it and correctly assemble it?
Thanks

Looks strikingly similar to your.
I'll email them to you.

>Thanks Robert. They do look about the same so I'll give it a try. I'll just do the opposite to loosen the spring so I can safely remove it.

I just love the challenge of finding your place!
