lubrication/maintenance

[robertjenkins]

My Y axis has started binding and juddering, and I suspect it's due to lack of lubrication, or debris in the thrust bearing areas. The manual is clear about what needs to be done, but silent on how to access these areas (which, as it says, are enclosed by the cabinet). Am I supposed to remove the whole thing from the cabinet? Or send a small child in there?

Can you supply the serial number & date of manufacture please.
