I appreciate your help very much. :awesome:
I take a serious look at the spindle and not all threads are sharp anymore so if you don´t mind it might be better to buy a new spindle too then I am sure...

@JonB_in_Glencoe, thanks for the size. 3/8-20 makes it more difficult to get a nut here in the Netherlands, regular 3/8" nut is difficult but possible but 3/8-20 is hard to find

@uscra112, thanks...

@ Hossfly, could be but I am so sure about it

@shortlegs, quest what I was searching in my house for a nut that fit the spindle thread but I don´t have one.
Problem is we have metric thread
Do...

Good Friday became bad friday
I try the nut in the cylinder and push it all the way down, no problem but then it had to come up and while I was doing that the nut stopped and it was hard to turn the...

I understand Alox is hard to buy and the 350 and 2138F version are discontinued
I have one bottle of 4oz LLA if I use that how much beewax should I mix with LLA to get a 50/50 lube ? I think beewax...

I know and I did that with the o-rings which I bought local but now I have original Lyman o-rings so I don´t think I need teflon.
My hope is the lube, I have old Lee lube and next week I am intent...

That head and spindle is turning
Threads is clean and I can turn the nut from top to base with my hand
O-rings are original Lyman ring´s




It start spinning as soon as the nut hits the lube...

Yesterday I receive the o-rings and guess what : did not solve the problem
Nut still turns around when I turn the spindle.
Now I am waiting for the heating pad maybe that helps

Like I wrote Lyman told me all parts of the 4500 are interchangeble with the 450 except the pressure nut and o-rings
But now I understand that o-rings are for the 45 and 450 and 4500 so maybe also...

Thanks I feel much better now :p and :lovebooli

@hd09, your conversion is correct but we don´t have 20,63mm ID rings here, we have 20 and 21 rings
I try rings with 3mm thick but as you can see 1/8" is just a little bit more then 3mm
Therfor I...

I always keep manuals for quite a long time so yes I found the original guide that came with my 450 lubricator/sizer
On page 73 is the exploded view of the new style version and on page 74 from the...

Thanks Gary, I also did a Lyman search on #2990623 and I also could not find something and therefor I also think it is the part number for the 2 o-rings for the older 450
I hope someone have the...

Sorry ReloaderFred for the ebay links and thanks for removing them

Does anyone know the difference between Lyman part #2990689 and #2990623 ?

Big problem is the conversion size, we only have metric o-rings and they were sold on inside diameter
So 1 1/8 minus 2 x 1/8 makes an ID of 7/8" and 7/8 x 25,4 = 22,2mm and that is exact the inside...

The only one that I have to stretch a little is the 23mm ring
I can buy a 22 or 21mm ID ring but they are smaller then the ID of the space where the sealplug goes in
Inside diameter of that space...
