I suspect this is the check needle rather than the weight ball. I actually thought about doing some gentle tapping with a brass punch. Things “look” a lot better in that passage, but I suspect the white crusty stuff is still cementing it somewhat.
Edit: on the other hand, I can still “see” some of the stuff cementing the pump Bonnet check ball. I’ve been pretty conservative about picking at it. Might have to get slightly more aggressive.
