Yesterday I bought a Hornady die set at a gunshow and after I got home I see that the spindle is bent some such that the expander & decapper pin are not centered. It is not grossly bent, but noticeable. Will Hornady send me a new zip spindle?
 
Not positive about Hornady Dies, but Lee, RCBS, all have a center stem that has a Sizing Nut that holds the ($0.25) depriming pin. The shaft should not be bent, if it is you can find them on-line, the Pins should be at your local Gun Store that carries reloading supplies.

Good Luck

Redding and RCBS use a straight pin. Hornady uses a pin with a head. They are wear items from my understanding. Just buy a replacement; they are inexpensive..
 
If the spindle is bent bend it back to straight, if it is the decapping pin it may break if you bend it back but you can try it and see, they are cheap to replace if it does break.
