zfk55, flashhole, pulling the primer punch/sizer ball through the top is made easier by placing a tube on top of the die with a nut against if while jamming the two lock nuts to the threaded shaft, holding the two lock nuts will prevent the shaft from turning while turning the nut down to remove the assembly, there is leverage to be gained with the incline plain of the threads, and, nothing gets chewed up with the vise and vise grips and the pull is straight.

On larger cases this method becomes more complicated and difficult when the sizer ball is pulled through the neck, displacing the brass with the sizer ball can results in pulling the assembly shaft apart.

Again, the die can be secured in the press, you will not believe the number of times a handy person has hit them self between the eyes while pulling on a tool with both hands, I have never tried it but a slide hammer could work, never tried it.
