I have the King Canada version of this machine, and this video was very helpful when I needed to remove the table from the base, so that I could break the machine down into smaller parts that I could carry down to my basement workshop. The two leadscrew brackets were definitely hard to remove. I used a mallet to strike a piece of wood, which I placed against the bracket. It took many hits, and some prying, but eventually got them off. I also ended up bending one of the locating pins, which I had to straighten before re-assembly. I don't know if the G0704 is the same, but the 4 locating pins for the brackets have threaded holes in the end, threaded M4.0x0.7. I was wondering if those threaded holes are intended to insert some kind of pin puller? Also, the locating pins seem to have a very slight taper, unless I was measuring wrong.
Good catch on the locating pins having a taper and threaded holes. Thanks for the information. On my machine the lead screw brackets were removed with just solid taps from the small soft mallet shown in the video, so I didn't look very closely at the locating pins. I suppose there's a bit of variation from machine to machine in the tolerances.
I have been using that special tool for that for years, do not know the name of it eater. for now we can call it the Joatmon toll. LOL 😂NICE VIDEO!!
