Help with Lee decapping pin

[AlbertaGunslinger]

Hi there, the decapping pin on one of my Lee Die sets has been pushed up and I went to try and loosen the collet holding it to push it back down and it wont budge. I have the correct sized wrenches and I have applied a ton of force and it wont loosen. Anyone had this problem and have a fix? Or just suggestions.

Thanks for the help.

Get a biggger wrench

Are you using two wrenches? One on the flats on the die itself and one on the collet nut is the way to do it...

edit: even better is a ratchet / socket for the nut and a large wrench on the flats.

tap the nut wrench with a hammer , if you still have a prob , get a bigger hammer or call my grandma

Better buy a gym membership son.

Try using a snipe. The nut can lock up pretty tight.

That nut is on there "turn the world purple" tight.
When you do get it reset, give the stem a wee squish
in the vise to rough up the surface, then it doesn't need
to be quite so tight.

Yup is tight I thought I was going to break mine

Try putting the die in a vice upside down with the vice holding the nut, use a big wrench to turn the die.

Like everyone else said, wicked tight.

If you still can't get it loose - take a hammer and tap the pin back down.
