Hornady LNL AP primer system problem

The only thing that will cause the cam bracket to break, and that is if the primer slide is not moving freely. Now you need to find out what is casing it not to move freely.
1. Is it catching the primer punch? To check this out remove the slide and push the punch up over and over. It should always go all the way down. If it isn't going all the way down every time give it a shot of one shot, it should smooth out.
2. The primer slide is sticking. Use 600 wet or dry sand paper and smooth out the bottom and edges of slide. With out the cam wire installed slid it back and forth by hand. It should move with little effort. A little graphite will help.
3. If it doesn't slid freely check to see if the primer housing body is smooth. If not sand the bottom and front edge.
4. Now check out the wheel on the slide. Make sure the pin is straight and the wheel turns freely. A little graphite here will also help.
5. Make sure the cam wire plunger moves up and down freely.
6. A little graphite on the sub plate will help it move freely.
 
Well it's been a week now. You have either have decided that you have a paper weight, or you got it fixed. If you have a paper weight, I pay $150.00 for each one. If you got it fixed, what was the problem.
