RCBS rockchucker priming arm pin broke?

[MT257]

Maybe start using a hand primer like the rest of the civilized world? I'm just kidding, but I do prefer the hand primer. Now on my progressives I do prime on the press.

See post #19

With a screw that small I would send it in!
The other option, which what I use now, is the RCBS RAM priming tool

Take it to a local welding shop, put a very small washer on top of the broken stud and have the shop weld the inside of the washer to the stud then you'll have something to grip and take it out, I have done this many many times

In my experience. RCBS have been very quick and accurate with their warranty stuff. I would go that route. Good luck friend!

I can't believe it took 33 posts to help this guy ! And more probably !

Too bad shipping costs are so high. I have two Rockchuckers and i don't use the priming arm on either one. I'd just swap you one if it was feasible.

It's just cast, even if he drills the whole thing out just get a step bolt and matching tap and thread the press.

So I was able to finally work it all the way back out with a dental pic. I then ran a tapping bit 8-32 back in it. I went to the local hardware store and got a 1.25 x8-32 bolt. It seems to not have the awkward pressure on it as the old one. Just glad to have it out.

All good ideas. One that hasn't been posted is take it to a machine shop that rebuilds engines. They have gotten out some stuck/broken off bolt out for me that I thought would be impossible.

If we were close in didtance I would fix for FREE. If you want a GREAT Priming tool get a Primal Rights CPS (COMPETETION PRIMER SEATER) and be done forever.
Just give Greg a call or his website http://www.primalrights.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=134

Glad you got it fixed.

Thanks- I was almost to the point of really wondering if RCBS would really warranty it. Have my chargemaster in to them now for drifting.

That device does look slick. But I think I will have to save some pennies first.
