How to Fix a RIDGID 811A Die Head for Use on 300 & 535 Industrial Pipe Threaders - Die Hard 9

This week, we revisit the old 'Die Hard' series where I work on refurbishing and repairing well-used industrial pipe-threading dies. We have a Ridgid die stock in the shop, and I'll show how I go about repairing it so it's ready for use again. This head is compatible with any 300 or 535 series industrial pipe-threading machines.
