I have an 1841 which has the piston hydraulic pump. It was losing prime often and needed rebuilding. Everything was going fine with the dis-assembly until I got to what Ford calls the "plate" it is part no 310205. This piece will NOT come out of the cover (part no 312059). I got the screw out of the center with no problems but the plate is stuck in the cover.
I have tried banging the cover on the workbench - wood surface, tapping the center hole - it's too hard for a tap or a drill bit. Do I need to cut it into little pieces with my cutoff tool? It doesn't seem to be threaded in. It's like the previous owner used gasket cement when putting the plate back into the cover.
Any help would be much appreciated.
