is there a wrench for the RCBS LAM II with 15/16" for the die nut on one side and 1 3/8" for the reservoir on the other?

I'm not aware of one, but I have welded two boxed end wrenches together that have been cut to make similar tools in the past.

I've also welded a nut on the top of my LAM2 so i could use a ratchet as opposed to the dogbone. Makes things much easier.

Use a ¼” drive ½” 6 point socket with a slot cut in it to allow a bolt to go through the top of the luber screw and you can eliminate that annoying double ended ball to apply pressure. The ¼” drive socket wrench works much nicer. I cut the slot with a metal angle grinder. And you’re not messing with the factory setup. Think I paid $1.59 for the socket!

This was my thought, a couple of junk store wrenches and a welder. 1 3/8" isn't really a common size to find though.

well I found an old Kawasaki motorcycle tool kit box wrench with a 24mm end and a 32mm end. the 24mm end fits the 15/16" die nut perfectly (.9375" vs .9448") and the 32mm side was just a bit small. since the wrench is stamped from mild steel it didn't take much to file a little off the inside of each wrench hex flat until it fit the reservoir nut
