Graham Phantom Bearing Removal

Tobes...your procedure is so well stated it should be cut & pasted into the Phantom manual. :o) However in my case the T/T is in a corner, accessed from the front and effectively boxed in 3 sides so lifting the bearing from behind the counterweight and maintaining safe spacing could be awkward for many? (Even then it looks like the least awkward solution given the alternatives)

Thanks Has2be. Just looking ahead to when I'll need to remove it again (not dialed in yet but I think there's 0.5cc damping fluid in the bearing well as recommended)

I did consider using the arm clip to stabilise it but feared stressing the arm tube so elected to handle it loose(slightly dangerous without stylus guard).
I think Bob's warnings have too much of an effect and perhaps make us overly respectful of the dangers ;o)

My main concern was how much play was allowed in the arm wires? (I've heard 0.25" max but I doubt anyone has ever tested this to destruction :o)
