6000 press not indexing properly

So I did something to my new press and now it will not index properly. It will index a few times then not at all or only half way. Thinking I did something to the clutches. I have ordered new ones from Lee. My problem is how does it come apart? This is my first progressive press I have been reloading with a single stage for a few years. Thanks Mark

Not much here, yet, about the 6000. You are probably the first to report an issue.

I figured it out seams to have been operator error. This is my first progressive press have been using a Lee single stage. The shell plate needed to be tighter to hold the drive clutch and driven clutch together. Or so I think as it is working now that I tightened it. I also figured out how it comes apart two screws under the the shell holder and one under the carriage. Thanks Mark

I am sure I hurt mine when a primer got stuck under the shell holder and I forced it in order to clear it.

What parts did you order? Thanks.
