Hornady de-cap pins

dlm345dlm345 Member Posts: 8 ✭✭
I am new to the forum. And I have a question as to how to replace the de-cap pin on the hornady dies? I have been reloading for several years and this the first pin I have ever broken. (44mag Dies)

    Normally, you unscrew the expander button, take out the broken piece, and install the pin, and screw that button back on.

    Pearyw thanks for the reply, but hornady pins are not replaced that way. Wish they were but, that would be to easy. I did figure it out though. I heated the rod tip with a propane torch until cherry red and the broken pin pulled out, reheated and installed new pin.[:D]
