SDB service/part/operation
Quote from Reloader on September 10, 2009, 12:06 amI found some info on lubricating my SDB, and did the vertical corners of the shaft and inside/outside of the link arm bearings. My SDB schematic says to lubricate the shellplate bolt (13328), some info here mentions the bottom of the index lever may require lubrication.
How do I lubricate the shellplate bolt? Do I take it out? To lubricate the index lever, just reach in from behind the machine and dab some grease on the bottom?Okay, maybe this one is obvious, but is there any way to adjust the amount of bell on the case at station 2 without removing the powder system, replacing it and trying again? Seems awkward.
Last, I broke my primer punch, 13967. Can I get it replaced under warranty or do I need to just order one? I replaced it with the one from the spares kit but I'm thinking I need another spare just in case as this part takes some pressure.
Thanks!

When adjusting the case belling at station 2, if you have slim fingers you can get by with merely loosening the clamp and powder measure attachment, so you can thread the die down. Otherwise it is easier to remove the measure before adjusting the powder die height.

Fingers are definitely not thin enough, but at least now I don't feel like I'm missing something obvious...that somebody will laugh at me about when I tell them what I've been doing.
And will e-mail on the part.
Thanks, will do on the part, and thank you very much for the quick reply.
