Griz planer disassembly? & rust removal.

[toolferone]

First the good news. I have started to clean up the used 20" Grizzly planer I bought, here is a pic of my start on the rust removal.

Now I need some help on removing the lower rollers in the bottom table. Has anyone removed them on there 20" import planer? The are on a eccentric cam that is pressed into a bearingon the roller. The cam has a threaded hole in it. I wonder if it for some kind of puller? Any thoughts would be great.

I would contact Grizzly and get a parts list and shematic for the planer. That should show you how and where to take it apart. I don't know if you can get this on-line or not, but they should be able to tell you.
Progress looks good. Show pics when finished.

Not sure if it helps tom but I have the manual for my PM 20". the rollers are the same setup I believe. loosen set screw turn roller to desired hight and tighten set screw. I will get out there later and look at it. I dont have a scanner but I can let you borrow my manual if it will help. Will be in raliegh tomorrow am and can drop it off to ral saw. let me know

I do have the parts break down, and yes it does adjust fine, but I want to take them out for cleaning/rust removal. I will be calling Grizzly this morning and asking them. Thanks guys.


update: I just talked to Grizzly and I was about right on removing them. I will use a little slide hammer (like a dent puller) threaded into the piece and hopefully a few slide taps and out they come. I will spray a little penatrating oil in first to loosen them up. I will let you know how it turn out.
