Lyman 45

Bought it and set it up so the bullets go down and are pushed up and out. The disc and rod move together. The disc is screwed onto the rod. What is needed to get the Lyman working?

Edit The problem is the lube is not being pushed into the die.
If you change to the O-ringed follower that leaks a lot less you will also need to change the screw also.
Charlie,
Where does the O-ring go? Is the follower the part that is inserted into the die or fits on top of the lube?
Where does the screw go?
I am ending up with a lot of lube at the top of the old style die.

part #2 and #9 I think.
When you mentioned a split brass ring, it identified what you were talking about. Gratefully, I'm not getting any lube past that follower.
Now onto figuring out other matters.
Thanks for all the help.

I use the 2500+ lube. It does not require a heater but
is stiffer than the NRA formula. Smokes less also.
If you are loading for rifle then try the carnuba red - but
it does need heat to flow.
The Lyman 45 is OK, but if you come across a used RCBS lubrimatic
buy it! I like mine, it works great and RCBS customer service is
as good as Dillon's.[:)]
