Prob'ly a search of this site will turn up some. My luber in a coffee can full of boiling water worked wonders for me. Regards, Woody

Cntrmass Get yourself a big a$$ Pot throw the whole machine in it bring to a boil for about 15 minutes pick out with pliers or vise grips will dry just about instantly if boiled that long.
If this is your wifes or moms favorite spaghetti pot get after it right away and clean it out with paper towels then wash with soapy water or in dish washer and you should be safe.

I used a propane heater and got it pretty clean.

I think I'll skip the boiling for now.

This is a great forum.

The o rings were shot on the lube press but I had a couple.

Now if the top punch and lube will get here!
I can't wait!
Thanks Again

I set them in a jar lid on my woodburner for about 5 minutes to get the lube to liquid for, then I take it off with a rag (so I don't burn myself) and wipe them off. I use a small cable tie with a piece of paper towel around it to clean out the holes

I use a hot air gun , takes a couple of minutes and all the lube runs out.
