Help with Redding neck size die?

[TimK]

I just bought a used Redding bushing type neck sizing die. It did not come with instructions, and I don't see them on the Redding website.

I can see the bushing inside it, but can't figure out how to get it out. Is it just pressed in? If so, it's very tight. I haven't banged on it yet for real, thought I check here first for direction.

Any help?

the instructions used to be on their website,unscrew the cap on top of the die,turn the die upside down and bang it on somthing tha wont damage it,bushing should fall out.when you put it back together do not cinch the cap down tight,just snug and then back it off just 1/4 turn.

My Redding NO sizer has the bushing loose enough that it rattles if you (or I) shake the die. Yuo want this clearance so that the case self centers in the die and that the bushing self centers on the case. If I were to remove the top, the bushing would fall right out (Type-S) or when I disassemble the micrometer (competition) the bushing falls right out (unless the oil has coagulated and it needs a shot of WD40.)

Turns out it was clogged with grease. It's out now and I've cleaned it up. Works fine. Thanks for all the help.
