Help dismantle tailstock

[Hopefuldave]

Thanks aRM, you're welcome, I try to help! I did a long, miserable and painful spell in Hell, working for an importer of definitely down-to-a-price Chinese lathes and mills, I think I've seen everything that can go wrong, from over-reaching the machine's abilities to the machine basically having very little ability! After a while you notice the same faults cropping up again and again and even my deflicted brain puts 2 and 2 together, files it away for future reference...
