Bezzer, if you look at the bottom of the shaft you will see a little lip. That is what is preventing the needle clamp from coming off the bar. I can turn the clamp screw all the way except fully out. I will take a pic of the curly q thingys on the clamp. It sort of looks like they may come out to release the clamp but don't want to force them and break something.
FYI, OSMG says he has the Morse ZZ plates we need. I will be picking them up for sure on Monday.
