1841 Hydraulic pump question

[glinke]

I finally got it out! I ended up bending a thin screwdriver to the shape in Mike's drawing. With a lot of hammering it finally came out. I would post a picture of what it looked like when it finally came out, but I might be convicted of parts abuse.

Thanks for your help!

Yep....Must have pics....We need to see if it was abuse or self defense....:laughing:

Glad you got it out.

yep.. looks like he was 'resiting'

Looks like quite a struggle to me.....guess it was self defense....

we used a round punch from the to (opposite side from plate ) through screw holes and tapped the plate edge until it broke loose then gently scraped the gasket off not scratching the metal and afterward used a buffing wheel then a blow gun to get trash
out
