Good fix, thank you.
Chris, one thing I found to prevent this from happening in the first place
stems from Rick Higgins’ advice. Before installing the pump stand, sand
down the outside of it a little bit. Just enough so that when you drop it
down into the block it wiggles just s tad. Not only does it prevent the
stand from getting stuck, but there’s also the potential for the stand to
heat up and swell, causing the pin to stick and resulting in a similar
situation to a vapor lock. Sanding it prevents that as well. Just permatex
the gaskets on the bottom of the stand well so there’s no leaks, and that
stand will never get stuck again. Hope this helps someone!
nice tip their chris thanks for all you do
Chris, I’ve done a similar thing but my bolt was longer and I put a large
lug nut on the bolt shaft and made like a slide hammer. I gripped the nut
with vise grips banged it up and down. Great minds think alike. Thanks
Ron
Would possibly a cork screw work? Since the tap just makes a hole with
threads, a solid screw might grab better.
Good to know! I just replaced mine because it was leaking and seemed warped
where it meats the engine. Luckily it came out in one piece. Thanks for
your videos! They have been a big help keeping my baby 65′ on the road.
Nice done.
