    If you are trying to remove the barrel from the receiver I suggest you ensure you have the right tools and have a spare bolt in the race to stop the action twisting as from what the persons here have said the Lee action is notoriously weak when longitudinal force is applied without the correct tools any of the armourer's here will advise you to be careful how you do it. If I am incorrect in this advice I am sure I will be smacked for it just trying to save you some grief.
