550b failsate washer fit?
Quote from Reloader on June 1, 2013, 11:52 amA friend of mine just put together his 550b press and the bushing (18086 Dilren shoulder washer) does not fit in the holder tight (very loose). As a result, when the handle is operated the bushing does not ride up the failsafe rod thus allowing the rod to de-attach from the holder at the bottom. What should he do to ensure the bushing is tighter? Like maybe close the holder opening together a little more with pliers or get another part from Dillon?
