just spread the wires over a bucket. It comes with a little wire device that you can use, or do it manually.

They give you a small thick-wire frame gizmo that you hang off the top rim of a 5 gal bucket, and you use that gizmo to pry the prongs of the roller gizmo apart to allow the brass to fall through into the bucket. It works, after a fashion. I find it easier just to pry the roller prongs apart by hand.

You can simply hold the rods apart and let the brass fall out. You can do this with your hand or use the bucket insert that comes with it. the bucket insert is a piece of formed metal rod that attaches to the side of the bucket and forms a loop in the center. Simply hold the ammo broom against the center loop and twist slightly. This will hold the metal times on the ammo broom apart and the brass will fall into the bucket. I'm not describing it very well, but you'll see what I mean when you open the package.

Pull the wires apart and dump the brass out. The wires will spring back in place.

You just easily pull the wires apart and they fall right out. Very easy to use.

It comes with a wire bracket that straddles the inside top of a five gallon bucket. Place it over the bracket and turn 90 degrees that spreads the tines enough for the brass to fall in the bucket..

There is an upside down U shaped retainer (sometimes with a tab at the top with a hole in it) at the front of the valve stem that has to come from the top. Once the retainer is removed the valve cartridge can be pulled out. You can use the valve handle screwed back in place to use as a grab handle to pull the cartridge out.

I use half vinegar,water and a tablespoon of dish soap. I use mine for cleaning ammo brass. After cleaning I put the brass in water with baking soda ,then rinse with clean water. Works great.

Nope. My gauge broke and I tried to remove it. It's pretty much super glued in there - my chrome wrenches stripped the brass fitting of the gauge, it never even broke loose. Also the brass fitting is not even accessible because the gauge protector blocks access to it.

Hornady has a cleaning solution for both Brass and parts. They are different.

I just use it for brass cleaning. Only needs about 4 or 5 hours for that but I usually turn it on before bed then turn it off when I get up in the morning.

Just turn it upside down & shake, or pry it from the edge using needle or unfolded paper clip. I believe mine was easily came out.

These are once fired brass that needs to be reloaded. Amazon does not allow the sale of loaded ammo

Take out the metal part and pull. It was tight for me initially but easier now. If it's not coming out pull harder!

All brass should be re-loadable (bare brass casings and nickel plated). Steel casings are the only thing I know of that you can't re-load.

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

I had a shiny #12 brass screw left over from a previous project and dipped the head of it in the bluing liquid for about 20 seconds, and it came out looking like antique brass. I tapped the screw head on a paper towel to get the excess liquid off, then let it sit on the paper towel for a minute or so before wiping it off good. It retained the antique look it had coming out of the liquid. I believe leaving it in the liquid longer or dipping it a second time, etc., would darken it up even more, but it has a nice aged look to it even now; I wish I could post a photo of it for you, but this is about the best I can do.

Easy. Take something that is soft and plastic and pry gently along the pieces that clasp to it. It won't make any marks if you do it right.

Using a slotted screwdriver, unscrew one of the cutter pins and pull it out. This will remove the helical cutter so that you can access the piece of lead and push it out. Then put the cutter back in place and reinsert the pin.

The brass pick-up tube inside the tank may have developed perforations allowing the air to be expelled without forcing much liquid up the tube to the spray hose. It can be repaired by unsoldering the pick-up tube where it passes through the tank and replacing the perforated portion of the tube with copper tubing.

The four pin brass end can be removed with a pair of pliers leaving you with a female connection. It comes with the male male adapter in place.

The handle is hollow. You use a flat screwdriver to pop off the outside which reveals a phillips screw at the level of the band. Loosen this to remove the band!
