Was wondering if it's much of a job to take the shimmy out of the front end of a 45. Thanks.

What I remember from years ago when dad was the mechanic in the area,the shaft from the gear to the spindle used to get the keyways wollowed.I don't remember him replacing spindle casting or gears but there are still several old worn shafts up at the shop.Bearing end play on the worm shaft is the only adjustment provided.(shims) No provision to move worm closer to gear. Big bolt in bottom of shaft holds spindle on.
