Hi guys, new to the forum.

Bought an old super 7 with power crossfeed, and I need to replace the cross slide screw.

Is there a trick to getting the cross slide adjusting collar off? I removed the grub screw (but it doesn't like the grub screw goes all the way down to the screw shaft.

I can't seem to get it to come off, just can't get any purchase on it and don't want to damage anything

Its old for me as a 30 something

i didnt notice the pad untill i got it out of the garage under some better light, it was covered in black muck.

I managed to get it off, it was really stuck on. When i replace the screw i am keen not to marr up the surface of the new screw is there a technique or best practice to tightening it back up to not cause any damage to any of the surfaces.

To get it off i ended up putting a bolt in the grub screw hole and clamping the end of the screw in the vice.

The screw was damaged so i obviously wasnt concerned about causing further damage to it.

thanks in advance
