This happened to me once. As I recall, all I did was remove the gear, remove the support pin from the banjo, and drive the pin out (gently). I would recommend putting the screw back in the hole so that it isn't tight, and then tap it gently. Then take a file and some sand paper, and take down all of the rough spots. More grease is a good idea too. Mine hasn't done it again.

I was doing some general turning under power feed yesterday, nothing elaborate, and all of a sudden the lathe stalled. After much investigation I finally diagnosed the problem: the B/C gear bushing has somehow fused or stuck itself to the B/C gear shaft on which it rides. Seems absolutely welded. Right now I have it soaking in wd40.
Anyone had a similar problem and can give any advice?
Thanks,
