Hey guys, first time on this site, I'm over in perth Australia and have recently found a centec 2a milling machine in a barn, it needs a complete rebuild which I've just started doing, I have it all apart down to the last two gear shafts in the main housing, does anybody know how these come out? As in which way they need to be pressed out of the housing? To the front or rear of the machine? I wasn't planning on getting this deep into it but the bearings are cactus and need changing, can the bearings be changed without removing the shafts completely? Any help greatly appreciated! Cheers! Matt.

Ok, so if I'm reading your reply right, I've already done everything I need to, so I'll try persuading them out with the press, this thing has already spent to much time on the end of a hammer from the looks of it, so I don't want to add to that! at least I know which direction to press from now! I'll let you know how I go, cheers!
