I picked up a used Midamerica lathe locally and the 4 jaw steady rest seems pretty tight. I want to remove it and disassemble to clean. Has anyone removed one yet? I am assuming that it is threaded onto the bore and have tried using the chuck tool to hold it with no luck. I just was trying to make sure before I break out the big guns. Figured I could chuck up some square stock and turn it with a big wrench or something. Also would it be standard threads of reverse.
