Hello, first timer here.
I inherited a model 2000 from my brothers estate. I noticed the grinding wheel had some lateral movement on the spindle, nut was not tight against the wheel. I shot The nut with some PB Blaster to free it up, but my problem is I don't see any way to hold the spindle from turning. Advice greatly appreciated.

You should be able to hold the honing wheel
Thanks Rich
The nut was backed off and the wheel was spinning free with about 1/8" lateral play. The nut was frozen and I couldn't determine where to lock the spindle to crank on the nut. Standard nut about 3/4 or the mm equivalent.
It's fixed now. Spent the last couple of hours sharpening chisels and block planer blades. Very nice machine.
