Removing powder from hopper
Quote from Reloader on October 23, 2014, 8:36 pmWhat is the simplist process to remove the rod from the bellcrank or return bracket to allow the toolhead pins to be pulled and toolhead removed in order to dump powder from hopper for a 550B??

If it is the old black type I use plyers to squeeze the top and push it out the bottom. The white ones should just pop out of the bottom. Since the spring is compressed you will have to lift the ram up to take the pressure off the bushing to remove it.
