Using an Antique Pacific Black C Reloading press?
I have acquired an antique black painted Pacific "C" type reloading press, of course with no instructions for disassembly. I would like to take it apart and clean it, but am not sure how the retaining shafts need to be removed. It looks like I can take the C clips off of the shaft that the lever rotates on and slide it out, and then most of the press moving parts come out the bottom. How is the vertical shaft separated from the flat plate that moves it up and down? I have a few other shafts with shell-holders cut in them with a shaft across the bottom that is tight in the hole and can't be moved easily. They may be rusted in some. What might be the best way to remove that shaft? Anybody know where I might find a manual for this old press?
