Smithy Midas 1220 XL - Manual (Page 103)

Bend back the tab on the lockwasher (Figure 24.4) and remove the spanner nut and
lockwasher from the spindle. Remove the four screws from the bearing cap and pull on
the clutch sleeve to remove the left jaw clutch and entire clutch assembly from the lathe
spindle (Figure 24.5). Set it aside. Remove the key from the spindle, taking note of which
keyway it is in. Remove the shaft sleeve from the spindle (Figure 24.6), shorten the sleeve
by amount of gap, and reassemble the entire unit. The left jaw clutch will now slide on
further, eliminating excess gap between the jaws.
