Hello David
Yes I have had the spindle our several times and lubricated the bearings with the special Kluber grease. The hydraulic unit comes off no problem but I cant get to the spring washers
On mine the very long drilling to the sight tube was clogged and it took a lot of rodding out to fix. It's hard to read through the sight hole
I will check this out. Thankyou
Cheers Chris .

Hi David
Sorry I have been away for a few days
Thanks for the photo and the description of the Z hydraulic pipe work .Now I am back on the job. I am reluctant to dismantle the Z hydraulic spring loaded tool gripper as I simply don't know what I am doing and risk damage to the unit. I will have another look tomorrow. I can remove and adjust the gripper but I cant get to see the spring washers and they could be the problem. Further the Z tool changer worked before I renewed the spindle grease so it has to be something I have done.
Cheers and thanks for your interest

@RotarySMP could I maybe ask you a few questions about your retrofit?

 

I would recommend you start a new thread for your 400E conversion. If you ask your questions in an unrelated thread like this, or my long 400E conversion thread, the answers become very hard for others to find.
