On my lathe and many others I can only use the hand wheel on the apron, I don't have a hand wheel to turn the lead screw.

Your lathe is considered a high end precision lathe, so we need to be sure we are correctly addressing the problem and not just the symptoms. We know the half nuts lift the lead screw, we just have to find out why. Whether it is the apron, or the lead screw or something else we really should be sure before changing any thing
