I've used my Lee 4 hole turret for around four years now, but haven't had to replace the square ratchet yet. Sometimes you need to adjust the indexing manually so that it indexes properly, which is under the Die Instillation instructions Part B in the manual. I also lubricate the indexing rod with a little CLP using my finger, occasionally, just to keep thing running smooth. I also polished my indexing rod with some 0000 steel wool and oil to remove any burrs that might affect the indexing.

Alternative way to adjust the indexing.

Glad I stocked up big on reloading supplies years ago.
Yep I find the plastic parts wear out and need to be replaced occasionally. I found a guy on eBay who prints them himself and they sell very inexpensively.
