LPS Primer Arm # BP 2889A

How do you install a LPS primer arm into the ram of a Lee Classic Turret press? The instruction manual for the Lee Classic Turret Press is not user friendly for the beginner reloader. To make it simple for beginning reloaders I have documented the installation process of the LPS Primer Arm # BP 2889A Small 7.00 with pictures for the Lee Classic Turret Press.

Broken LPS Primer Arm

This was the email that I wrote to the Lee Precision Company requesting a new  LPS Primer Arm # BP 2889A Small 7.00 to replace the broken one.

  

Dear Sir/Madam,

I recently purchase a Lee Classic Turret Press from MidwayUSA.com and received it a few days ago. I have not used it as yet. When I was installing the LPS Primer Arm # BP 2889A Small 7.00, it slipped out of my hand and dropped two feet to the floor and broke. I was surprised to find that part of the "lip" had snapped off when it hit my wood flooring. Could you please send me a replacement part? Thank you.
Part: LPS Primer Arm # BP 2889A Small 7.00
Best regards

Response from Lee Precision:
We will send a Small Primer arm out to the address you have provided below at no charge.
Thank you, Lee Precision
