delta 1440 spindle removal

Recommended Posts

I picked up a delta 1440 type 2 lathe with a bad rear bearing in the headstock.  Trying to remove the spindle, I removed the hand wheel, and the back reeves pully.  The inner reeves pully looks like it is pressed into another bearing in the speed change yoke.  I have removed most of the snap rings, except the largest one facing the front of the spindle in the speed change yoke.  Has anyone removed the yoke?  do you have to remove the speed control lever to remove the yoke ?  can the reeves pulley in the yoke be removed without removing the yoke?

Any information on disassembling and removing the spindle will be appreciated.
