I need to replace the spindle bearing in my Hardinge VMC 1000. It seems there are "upper bearings" and " lower bearings" in this spindle. The noise is coming from the upper . Does anyone have any experience replacing this bearing,in this machine? The noise is puzzeling as well, it makes a rattling noise, and gets very hot, for about 10min. , then the noise goes away, it cools off, and runs fine. This is a very unnerving problem as I depend on this machine daily.
Thanks for help
