I didn't necessarily need to take this cover completely off, but again, I wanted to give it a good
look to check for debris, loose bits, rust, water intrusion or just general gunk. I was happy to see
that there was very little of any of that in there, just a very thin swish of gunk that was nonmagnetic.

I let the oil settle for several days, poured off most of it and gave that a crude filtering with
 paper towels and a funnel, and dumped just under five gallons back into the headstock.
(Of course, after closing the cover plate back up.)
