put a lock washer on top of the flat washer on the cap screw
That was one of the first things I did in Dec...

So three things, the prowls, the shell plate detents and the primer feed. Once you get that the press will run like a top.
I didn't practice at all, I caught onto the timing quickly and painfully.Takes a little practice with timing so as not to catch your finger between the die and plate though.
That's what I use.Anyway, it is about time to grease the ram. What's the best grease to use in this thing? My grease gun at the moment has marine wheel bearing grease in it for my boat trailer.
These fittings are just pressed in.
Also if you have any spray some Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner on the sub plate, shell plates and especially on the ram. Big difference when sprayed on the ram.
Watch these videos and you will pickup a lot of information about your LNL press.
PERSONALLY I WOULDNT DO THAT, SET UP YOUR PAWL TIMING WITH A DECAP DIE IN ALL STATIONS.To reduce the snap you can seat the detents lower with a punch. These are only pressed in so you can adj them if needed. Provided you have your index set so the rotation is made with the paws, not using the detents to complete the stroke.
Appreciate all the info and pictures. I've been considering a LNL and am looking at all the info I can find. Sadly the Highboy videos don't seem to be available.

This think really rocks! I added a bullet feeder with the Lee tubes and I can get into a rhythm adding the cases without the case feeder and load several hundred rounds before I know it. It punches out the 9mm so good now, I almost hate to change it over to .45, but that will be coming in the future. I got all the pieces for it.How are you liking your LNL?

Sometimes you have too when it's shaking powder out of the case when it snaps in. You don't need any dies in to do this adj, or paws. All the detents are for is to to keep the shell plate in position once it indexes, 2 per shell plate. So light pressure is all that is needed. This in with the small cases like 9mm, 380 where there is very little powder to start with. This is after you have the indexing right.
No doubt.Also pretty sure I'm be 'hoppin mad' if I went a bit too far,
