case insert slide
Quote from Reloader on December 27, 2017, 12:04 amI'm trying to remove the case insert slide. I've backed out the pin, but seems to max out and tighten up. What am I doing wrong?

If part 9, you should be able to unscrew, remove and slide cam should pull up and off the insert slide. There are cases where the allen bolt has been tightened to much and the brass insert in the cam is spinning in the cam.
If part 15 (that also has the insert slide spring clipped on at the top), you should be able to push the cam forward exposing the spring pin. Just keep unscrewing until disconnects from the platform. You can push the slide spring into the slide insert so that the spring pin will come out straight up. First time removing it might be a bit tight.
