Laxman2809 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Bought a used Dillon 1050, it was extremely dirty so I am attempting to do a tear down to clean all of its parts. Unfortunately I am stuck at attempting remove the shell plate lock ring. Reading the Dillon instructions and consulting many Youtube videos the lock ring should be close to hand tight and its not. So now I am looking for any tips on how to remove a stuck shell plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GringoBandito Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Are the little white locking tabs and the screws removed? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman2809 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Of course they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GringoBandito Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You never know.. had to ask. I can't think of a single reason why it would be stuck other than rust. Put some penetrating oil on it and let it sit for a few days to see if that helps. I hear kroil is pretty good.

Want2BS8ed Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I can't think of a single reason why it would be stuck other than rust.I hear kroil is pretty good....unless it was cross threaded and gorilla’ed on. Let’s hope it is just rust.Kroil is the ticket then. Love that stuff. Keep multiple cans dotted all over the shop.Kroil and Aeroshell 66/33ms, it’s like aromatherapy for men.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillon Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Check the shellplate lock ring and make sure someone did not add a setscrew to lock the ring in place. We have seen this modification done on other used machines sent in for service work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjacobs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If the threads get powder residue in them, it can make it hard to install or remove the lock ring. I loaded A TON of tiny tiny ball powders(A1680, H335, Titegroup) on my 1050 and constantly had to clean out the threads before disassembly or assembly. I would grab it with a strap wrench if you can OR some channel locks with a microfiber towel or the like on the jaws. It'll come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put 3 screws in the shell plate locator tab screw holes and then tapped each with a hammer one by one. 2 hours ago, icestud said: Not being a smart ass, but try Google Oh man trust me I did. Let me respond with this though. Just to show there was not many links on the matter. http://bfy.tw/J6Ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim m Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 soak ot in Kroll oil, Blaster or liquis wrench. Strap wrench works or a set of channel locks with a rag or tape to keep from scratching it up. Work it back and forth----- she'll come off. I had exactly the same problem. When you do get it off and you will really clean threads with something like a brass brush.

Ended up needing to put some machine screws in the lock ring set screws and tap them to loosen, then using an oil filter wrench it came off.

jim m Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Laxman2809-- don't get too heavy with the grease. I use Mobil 1 sparingly. Powder gets in the threads and gums it up. General maintenance is the key. Great utube on tearing down. lubing and ass'y. Check it out. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
