Older Lee turret press
I have an older Lee turret press, the one that drops spent primers in a long plastic tube. I bought it new several years ago and regularly clean and lube all wear points......except one. Where the link arms attach to the press casting. I would like to get some lube on them (there is one each side of casting). Is it possible to remove the link pins? I don't see how they are put in place, ie: no bolts, screws. Or maybe leave well enough alone?

I have the older 3 hole turret press and if I understand what you are talking about, that pin is pressed in(kind if floating). Mine do move out from time to time and I just tap them back in. every once in a while I put a few drops of oil on them. I've have been using this press off and on for over 30yrs. and the only thing I ever changed were the link arms once about 10yrs ago

A light oil around the pins will migrate down. I also lube the turrets with a light coat of STP occasionally.

There are youtube videos that will show you how to lube them.
Have a blessed day,
