I am trying to remove a General 130 planer cutterhead and install a Shelix one.
I found a good literature on this subject, https://forum.canadianwoodworking.co...Planer-Upgrade, but still need help.
My current problem is, ... I cannot loosen a nut(self-jam, I think) which keeps a worm gear at the end of the cutterhead in place. First, I am not sure which direction to rotate the nut to loosen because the revealed thread part is very slim. Second, I don't know how to hold the cutterhead while I am loosening the nut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
