Unrelated to the post but worth having a chuckle at my expense haha. Had to do that on a car I used to have... Was trying biodiesel back in 2008 when everyone and their dad was trying to run it because of the big spike in fuel prices, long story short car wouldn't start and had to take it all out of the tank the only way I could, through the access hole below the back seats with a jam jar on a string....63 Litres of the bloody stuff and then to absorb the dregs I used the worlds most absorbent materials... Good old tampax.. With wings of courseGet the most out with a bakebean tin on a stick, and soak the rest up with rag. Might of been put in there to stop/dull vibration/resonance
Well after using a drill pump , and the syphon effect ive had no luck removing any oil ,
Could i rig up something with a fish tank air pump ?
as in it wouldnt prime itself to suck it up, or what was the problem?.Well after using a drill pump , and the syphon effect ive had no luck removing any oil ,

the pair of spindle bearings i have here are fafnir, not a brand id of came across before too much tbh but are top notch stuff it seems.Just because they are metric bearings doesn't necessarily make them cheap, or easy to come by. I made the same assumption with my Thiel. Most of the bearings are fine and relate to current SKF numbers, but I wanted (still want..) to change the spindle bearings. They turn out to be very special one manufacturer only, and whilst still available, the two bearings cost considerably more than I paid for the machine... Needless to say it still has rumbly spindle bearings...

Just the first name I could remember.... I guess it must have been always ultra jamrags lolTampax have wings? That must make shoving them up "there" difficult.
Tampax have wings?
Shouldn't that be diving planes.Tampax have wings? That must make shoving them up "there" difficult.
the pair of spindle bearings i have here are fafnir said:Fafnir used to have a manufacturing plant in Hednesford, Staffordshire just a few miles away from where I live. They closed down something like 25 to 30 years ago now but they were indeed a top quality bearing manufacturer. Certainly the same sort of quality as Timken etc. I think they were taken over as a company by one of the other big boys but I'm not sure who.
Any progress with this?
I've bought an MT3 collet chuck too, as you have found they don't fit the non standard spindle as it has drive dogs, however if your chuck is similar to mine then milling a bit off the boss below the Morse taper will allow it to fit in and gives the benefit of the drive dogs too, I bought an MT3 collet so I could put a cutter directly into the spindle to allow me to use my own machine to modify the chuck but I haven't got round to doing it yet.Not sure if I have asked you but what chuck are you using?
Generic mt3 er32 chuck doesnt fit as the shaft is not long enough.
