I recently acquired a Lyman 45 to augment a 4500. During reassembly, after its restoration, I noticed that no attention had been paid as to which way the pressure nut was installed. (Since another part was installed incorrectly, even if I had paid attention I'd still be asking.) I have a copy of the instructions and parts list, but it doesn't mention the pressure nut's orientation. Does the concave end go into the lube tube, or the flat end, ala the 4500, or does it matter?
Also, it came with an Allen headed set screw to secure the sizer die. Is that the correct part, or should it be a thumb screw, like the other set screws? The instructions and parts list doesn't identify the type of screw.
I know to not over tighten the sizer die's set screw, to prevent the frame from cracking, that the 4500's dual O-ring pressure nut is a replacement for the original, and that the handle is susceptable to breaking. Are there any other nuances or operating procedures that I should be aware of.
Thanks.
