How hard do I hit that?

I've used
Loctite Freeze Release Spray 400ml | eBay

With great success on an MT3 pillar drill spindle.(on a sample on one)


There was a post about using ball bearings to fill up the drawbar hole in the arbor before using a morse taper drift, I remember trying it and taking some pictures but I cant recall the result. I'll have more of a search but my pc isn't playing nice ATM.

i reckon its time to use the mt drift drive it in and if that doesnt shift it maybe put a rod down from the top so that it rests on the drift and try giving it a crack from the top
it might come out pretty quick so put a bit of wood or something on the table top

Well its out!

I got really frustrated with it and got the 14 lb sledge and .......No I didnt. I was frustrated, but in desperation I sprayed a heap of Lanotec down around the top of the taper and this morning I went out and in my desperation and frustration gave it a gentle tap with a steel hammer and lo and behold, it came away in my hand. I'm just so bloody happy now.

regards to all and Merry Christmas.
