Do you have a picture of the issue? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | I think I used a punch and took the pin out of the main body that holds the pump arm in place. Then I think I was able to disconnect it from the diaphragm.

I hadn't really taken a good lool at it, I was just preping for it. All you have to do is hold the arm while pushing down on the diaphragm and kick the stem back out of the link. Simple!!!!
Now, I have to finger out the inlet and out let seals or valves. I gotta get a kit to see just what new parts comes in it before I try to pop them out. Don't know if I'll have to use the old retainers or not.
No need to pop the pin out or remove the arm Don.

I was looking at a spare in the parts box and agree removing the pin can be avoided. I guess another point would be how much grime is in the arm area of the housing for cleaning purposes. Its like many things, many different roads to the destination and everyone likes to look at different scenery. Thanks for all the great info. Don

Pushing down on the diaphragm and away from the rocker arm side of the pump, without allowing it to swing or pivot did the trick. | | |
