In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "Alcohol is the cause AND solution to all of life's problems!"

The alcohol soak did the trick. Moving the plunger up and down broke the rubber diaphragm loose.

I'll check the diaphragm cover on a sheet of glass I have on the work bench.

Now, shouldn't this pump connector link just pull straight up and out? This one stops before the bottom end gets into the bowl. Again, I don't want to use undue force to remove it. Anything I need to know?
