The instructions on your RCBS resizing die state to use a big wrench to tighten them? Really? Or do they say, "Set the large lock nut," repeatedly?
Let's quote for truth.
RCBS Universal Decap Die "Set the die lock ring...."
RCBS Bottleneck Rifle and Pistol sizing die "Set the large lock nut ...."
RCBS Straight Wall (Carbide) "Tighten the large lock nut ...."
RCBS Straight Wall (Steel) "Set the large lock nut ...."
Regardless, common sense is common sense. Your picture shows that you couldn't find your wrench at least 4 separate times. It also shows that you applied enough force to upset the steel of the locating pin. No certificate in the world can change that. YOU broke it.
If you had a problem with the press or bushing from the beginning, you should have resolved it with the manufacturer. Mentioning it after you broke the bushing makes it look like you are trying to find an excuse to avoid personal accountability for abusing your equipment.
