Hi Ollie,

Don't try and removed the countersunk screws in the bedknife, leave that to the engineer who's going to do the replacement of the blade itself. Who do you intend to do that part of the job for you ?

Also don't blast the bearing carriers as there'll be nothing left of them. They can only be bead blaster if at all done. Just strip them with petrol and then use a brass wire brush and brush them and they'll look like new.

The rear rollers I've never painted as in no time they will look ratty. I just use a rotary wire brush on a drill and clean them. After that nothing that a bit of oil wiped on with a rag and not left in a damp place. They stay rather clean and tidy without any major maintenance.

Cheers,
BB.
