Rob, you need to have the photo saved in your album then, in the toolbar of the editor there is a black 'camera' icon, this allows you to insert a picture from an album, click on the camera then choose the picture you want to insert.

Graeme's description should work fine … unless you're on an early version of iOS

My old iPad [original version, running iOS 5.1.1] can't upload to the Albums, but the new one can.

Not much info there. Does the big hole in the background contain the spindle with a surface against which a brake shoe presses? It could be the shoe needs pressing back or does that handle need to come off?

Is the handle pinned on with a roll pin ? You might need to remove it to allow the casing to come off.

can't see properly but the lever coming from the centre boss looks like it's got a flat on it.

it doesn't just unscrew from the boss, does it?

No that hole take the motor, the spindle is the hole just behind the brake lever,

No I think that part is like a rear brake drum of a car, but I'm not certain 🤔

Gate and Elliott were all part of a business group,and products were very similar,the Elliott turret mill had a similar brake which was a brake drum with two internal expanding shoes,similar in construction to a moped brake and about the same size,had to strip mine as one shoe was seized and binding, can't help with the cover as its different to the Elliott

I got it off, a little heat from the heat gun & it just slides off. I will do a full video of the rebuild as nothing on utube for this mill.

Inside the case when the brake unit has been removed. As you can see just a bearing inside a case, called in the manual as a bearing nut, above the belt pulley.
