The encoder ring could be a loose fit to the bearing lock on the rear of the spindle as shown, an encoder mount that mounts to the bearing lock, or a sweat fit to the bearing lock or encoder mount.Let it cool down slowly to prevent distortion.Do not pry or cause damage when removing - you will need to re-use this part.After a few minutes begin gently dislodging the adapter until it slips free.To remove sweat fit adapters use a torch and evenly heat the outer diameter of the mating surface.Later machines (ST-15 through ST-30 11/2018 and after ST-10 02/2017 and after) will have a sweat fit adapter.


Have a box or table nearby with padding to lay the union in and support the drawtube.Caution: The union is heavy and if dropped it could receive permanent damage.Remove the screws and slowly remove the union and drawtube assembly.Keep the hoses pointed up and tucked away on the side of the spindle to prevent fluid from coming out Note: Have plugs or baggies and rubber bands to cover the hoses to prevent hydraulic fluid from coming out and debris from getting in.Note the clamp/unclamp hose and port orientation Disconnect the hydraulic lines from the hydraulic union.

Break the screws loose that connect the adapter to the union.Lock the spindle to prevent it from rotating.Remove the anti-rotation bracket that seats around hydraulic union drain hose.
