I just gor RX5000 from my uncle and I actualy wanna clean bearing and re-fill new oil for it, but I don' t really know how to remove the platter from it frame. It's really heavy. Does anyone give me a clue for this?
I suggest you pose the question to (I believe) www.Goodsoundclub.com If that doesn't work, Google "Romy the Cat". I am sure they can give you the exact answer you need.
You do not seem very 'mechanically minded'. Leave the TT alone if it is working! If you screw it up.. you will be very sorry! bending the spindle is your biggest worry, bending the bearing shaft another. My advice LEAVE IT ALONE!!!! The old wisdom comes to mind: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"
I believe this is a sealed oil bearing but I may be mistaken. Why do you think it needs service. If this has a pump and the platter wouldn't turn, it is probably a RX5000fv. If so do not try to turn the platter without the pump on and floating the platter.
