Dillon 550 press maintenance

It should take years and 1000's of rounds before you need to go this far, but when you do here is an excellent guide to completely tearing down a Dillon 550B press:

I've got one that had been sitting in a garage for years and is now gummed up and sticking in key areas (like the primer feed). Dillon has a great program for $67.95 (with an RMA #) you can send it in, they will fully strip, replace any out of spec parts, lube and assemble, and ship back to you in like-new condition. Sending mine in for a factory tune-up this weekend. This appears to be money well spent with a lot of success stories out on the net!
