Stuck Piston in Star Luber-Sizer

[wvmanchu]

I was recently given a Star Luber-Sizer in excellent condition set up with .451 die and top punch which is the primary caliber that I cast and Load. The piston screw was all the way in so I'm assuming the lube resevoir is empty. How do I get the piston out to put lube in it appears to be stuck all the way down. Could the spring be missing?http://castboolits.gunloads.com/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif

Thanks No_1. Pretty obvious after I saw the video. I'm now officially given up my Lee snot luber sizer, at least for .45.

I just got one at a gun show and had the same problem but rather than be smart and ask here like you did, I held it upside down heated it and tapped on it from the bottom with a plastic hammer until inertia finally slid it out. All the while I was wondering if mine had came disconnected from the pressure screw or if this was the dumbest design ever made. I guess I figured out where the dumb is.:veryconfu
