The lathe has developed a knocking sound and after some investigation and speaking the to excellent Axminster Service team we put it down to a worn bearing.
This video covers on how to replace all three bearings on the spindle but also shows what is needed in order to replace the drive belt.
My lathe is the Axminster AT406WL, which Axminster renamed a few months ago which used to be called the AT1628VS.
This video may also help with the other Axminster trade lathes and possibly other manufacturers that have a similar build to their lathe as most lathes are built very similar to each other.
