Primer Slide Return Pin & Indexer Lever
Quote from Reloader on May 28, 2009, 9:19 pmI called Support on Tuesday, 5/26 for help with getting my SDB taken apart. Just before I hung up, the support guy told me to make sure the slide was all the way up into the frame before I replaced the index bolt. I did just that, but now, when I cycle the machine, the shellplate advances but then reverses itself and goes back to where it was before. I must have done something wrong, ya think?
Second question. on the automatic primer system, I can't get the slide return pin (13790) to come out of the slide. The illustration shows that it comes out through the bottom, but the construction of the pin seems to indicate that it would come out of the top at all. The top of the pin is knurled as if the pin were threaded into the slide. How can I get that pin out?
Thanks.

If only a spring is present, then the ball rolled somewhere. Most likely is into the primer feed housing, or else into the shellplate bolt hole.

I might as well replace some of the other things as well, since this machine is almost 20 years old.
The delrin slide bearing that fits over the slide and the slide return pin can't be removed or replaced without a lot of bending, which has already cost me one slide. Unless I can get the slide return pin out, it's going to be difficult. Do I use a hammer and tap the pin out from the slide or is it non-removeable?

Pull the old slide bearing off by removing it from the top of the slide first, pulling down past the bottom of the pin, and off. Install the new one in the reverse, spread it open, slide it up over the bottom of the pin, then over the top . Shortly the memory of the delrin will restore the shape.

I said that it had cost me one slide, actually, it was just the slide bearing, it was out of my spare parts pack, and when I tried to put it on the slide, it snapped at one of the corners. I'll try again, if I have another slide bearing, otherwise, I'll have to use the old one again.
Thanks.
