Lyman 4500 piston problem

[13Echo]

OK I've got a problem. I was trying out the lube feed for my new Lubrisizer to make certain the bore was clean and smooth. Unfortunately the piston went past the cylinderical reservoir into the deep reservoir before there was any resistance. Now it just spins and will not reengage the bore to extract the piston. How do I get the da**ed thing back out? The only access seems to be through the top or through the die well and I cannot get the piston to re-enter the reservoir bore. I've left a message with Lyman but I suspect it's going to have to go back. Help.

Well Jerry, that put that piston screw up through the bottom, so dismount your sizer from the bench and take a look at the bottom. What you want to do is somehow run the screw down some like you're trying to remove it from the body and after you got it a inch or so out push it back in and hopefully the piston will be pushed up to a tighter section so you can go aheand and wind her out.
