Myford Super 7 toolpost stud.

[Alastair MacphersonParticipant @alastairmacpherson52003]

I intend replacing the damaged toolpost stud on my Myford Super 7. I have bought a new one from Myford, and am cautiously trying to remove the old one but it is not obvious to me how it is attached, and I don't want to cause further damage.

Myford offer a pin, which presumably goes into a hole provided in the flange of the new stud, and stops the stud from turning, but what is the purpose of the three grub screws that are obstinately refusing to unscrew at present?

Any advice would be very welcome.

I don't think you need to remove the grubscrews which are for the ratchet for the Myford fourway toolpost. Just press the stud out.

The stud just taps out from the top, it can be a very tight fit so a heavy tap may be required

If you look underneath, you may find that the small pin is used as a dutch key to prevent rotation..

The thread at the top, is 7/16 BSF, from memory.

Thank you all for your helpful tips; and I have successfully removed the old stud.
