I have never found a used nut that required a pin spanner that wasn't buggered up.

I am going to echo that sentiment. In a job shop it's just a tool, if it is working it makes money, if it is not, then fix it in a hurry and get back making money or replace it with something that will. Resale value isn't a consideration.....

The guy with the punch and hammer strikes again only this time it's the housing for the main spindle taper roller bearing that is being wacked at. "Every time I hit it it spins so I'll just keep hitting until something happens"
Luckily he didn't harm the bearing, it still spins smoothly. Apparently the replacement bearings are silly expensive so hoping I can reuse them.
In order to remove the centre shaft I'd have to sacrifice one of the end bushings, they are in good shape so I think I'll just have to leave it in place and work around it.

I just looked up the prices for the front and back bearings, $3,200.00 usd for the pair.
