Issue with Forster FLS die?

very cool...great idea, i should have asked as well.

I use a separate expander mandril but at first i couldn't remove the expander ball.

After sizing some brass i sprayed some Kroil on it and left it over night...the next morning the expander ball spun right off no problem.
 
I received the replacement die today with a nice letter. They honed it to .288"(not sure what dimension that is) and the die does go down a good bit further on an fired case. I should be good to go now. Here's a pic of the old and new die.
