Help with Mandrel removal?

[Dean]

Hello all. Firstly, let me apologize for being too lazy to scroll through to see if this question has been answered before.
Is there a search feature on the board that I may have missed?
Problem: When I spin my mandrel, I hear a slight noise. Does anyone know what this is? Is it a bearing?
I attempted to remove the Mandrel, ( backed off all the screws I could find, ( 3 on top ) and one large screw on the side, but it won't budge. Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
Dean
