    Today I took apart my Dillon RL 550 for cleaning. I pretty much found all the information within this thread very useful. However, in post #18, I did find that I could take off the locknuts at the same time and slide the bearing out and install it the same way. I don't know if I was just lucky or if the design had been changed since this thread started. I also used a video from UTube..How to Upgrade a Dillon 550B to a 550C. I found it was very useful, although this gentleman was changing out the complete frame that also included newer designs with some of the bearings. Aligning the platform on the video was extremely useful.

    This INGO thread was very good and I appreciate all the information posted, it really sped up the process.

    Why not just send back to Dillon so they can rebuild with all the parts and tools needed??? Last one sent back was up dated from a 550b to a 550C.
