The two piece front adjusting wheels can also be tricky to dis, and re-assemble. Lining some of it up takes some care.
But, by far, the sliding table races will probably take hours, or even days to get accurately set up again.
With good dust collection, the tilt and rise and fall will work perfectly for years with regular lubrication.
Congrats!, and enjoy what I have found to be the most enjoyable old cast iron full size slider out there to use, even without the high tech gadgets.
