my lathe says ROCKWELL Delta...
and I got a head bearing problem, and need to pull them out? is there anywhere that has a diagram of this?
I got the pully off, and there is nothing there... this is a 1 inch by 8 thread, with left hand on the outboard end...
the right end has a hex 'something' that screws up TO the inner race of the bearing, but how do you hold the left end?
thanks if anyone can assist

Absent the 46-XXX, tough to say.
according to that page its an early type, 46-111
and am assuming that the nut?? on the right hand thread has to be unscrewed... --Shiva--
Looks like the one is in the pulley - save those preload springs. Hopefully they're still springy.
The right side is retained by 21 and 19. Use the flat on the spindle to help. Though they don't show, normally you would expect a couple of load springs there, too.
Not sure what is going on here, but would this help?
That's like mine, not his. Might help him, though.
load spring on one side only.. left end, and the bearing is not in the pulley, did get it out... something is screwy, guess I need to make a phone call
have 'end play', meaning I can push the shaft slightly sideways.. maybe have found bearings, will know tomorrow AM, we shall see. may need a machine shop for help..

penetrating oil, and heat, got the one screw loosened..
finally found replacement bearings.. $18 each, plus 3 days for shipping..
NOW see how to make a headstock for a big lathe, too got to talk to the bearing guy when I pick these up- he does woodworking too. thanks all for the help
