C3 Mini Lathe Bearing Change

16.

Grease the new rear bearing and pull it into place using the C-nut, gear and plastic spacer

17.

Temporarily fit the belt cover and check tumbler reverse gear alignment - they probably won't align because the black plastic spacer is now too long

18.

Shorten the black plastic spacer as required

19.

Final adjust the C-nuts using two C-spanners to remove free play and pre-load the bearings

20.

Re-fit the drive pulley, belt and belt cover complete with tumbler reverse
