Disassembling Lee Hand loader

GuitarXM · April 1, 2009, 02:53 AM

Does anyone know how to disassemble the lee hand loader...
It comes with these clips that hold the screws in place...

It jams up, and Lee tech support said that I should disassemble it and take the paint of the joints?

How do u take those clips off?

I'd like to help, if possible. I'm not sure which piece of Lee equipment to which you are referring. There is a piece called a "Lee Loader" - but that ain't it because it has no screws and minimal parts.
Which press are you having a problem with?
Lee makes a hand press that is put together with pins (no screws) and they are held in place with c-clips. You can, if that's the one, pry them off with a screwdriver. There is a slot opposite the opening of the "C", put a screwdriver tip in there and twist. The washer/clip should move. You can then grab it with a needle nosed plier. There is a proper specialty plier available, probably at Brownell's.
