How to install new feed screws on SB 16"

[Chris165]

I had an "issue" that required me to purchase new feed screws for the compound and cross slide on my 16" SB O-Series. I know how to install the compound screw but would like some instruction on replacing the cross slide screw & nut as I have never done this before and do not want to break anything.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks, I managed to get everything taken apart with no problems. It is amazing how many gears are in something that old. The fun part was removing 50+ years of grease from them.
