The bolt through the handle to the main body snapped in two. It's going to be a pain to get the threaded portion out.0 -
So is this the handle for the lube feed pressure. The handle for pushing the bullets in and out was pin.
The bolt for lube could be removed by drilling the head off. Use a long skinny screw driver to push out the follower and bolt remnant. You will need to buy the O-ring follower and the new bolt.
Center punch, then drill for an easy-out is how broken bolts are usually removed.
Not exactly sure how to post links to autoloading PDF pages.
steve's pages seems to work.

This might not be a popular piece of advice, but I would suggest that now is the time to get either a new or used RCBS lubrimatic. I prefer the older version, but both the LAM 1 and LAM 2 are excellent.
If you are very serious about sizing and lubing cast bullets in mass, then buy a Star lubrisizer. The Star is the best, and they are fast! Maybe someday I will "bite the bullet" and buy a Star lubrisizer - but they are not cheap!0
