Habegger DLZF/DLZTE gearbox removal

Hello!

First post here, hope I'm asking in the right section.

I've been taking a Habegger DLZTE lathe apart for the last month with the intent of repainting and restoring it as well I can. Rebuilding will be a later issue. It has some wear in the ways.

I've been trying to get the gear box off of the bed for two weeks now. I've removed every fastener I can find, Including the large castle nut for the lead screw bearing, thinking that it was somehow squeezing the different layers of the gear box together. By taking pictures from inside the rear foot of the lathe I've established that there is at least two more screws that I haven't gotten out out but in order to get at the head of those I need to remove the housing for the change wheels.

I can't see any more socket heads in the screw holes. The casting flexes very slightly when I try to pry it apart with my fingers but only at the top. The bottom is rock solid. I'm afraid I'll crack the casting if I got at it any harder and that I've missed a fastener somewhere.

Is there anyone with experience of these lathes out there? It shares a gear box with the DLZF.

Best regards
Karl
