oil pump help

Paint thinner is a little dry. Using solvent to check my relief valve setting, I pull the plate off the end and blow it all dry and lube everything before using it.

The order of testing was oil, ATF and then thinner, so there was some lubricant in the thinner.

just make yourself a small slide hammer to pull the dowel pins out should not take more than 20-30 minutes to fabricate one up- couple of set screws, some steel rod a 1-2 pound weight and a small collar to fit over the dowel pins, do a little drilling and tapping and you have your dowel pin remover- proceed to surface all the mating areas of the pump and rear main cap ---then either reinstall the original dowel pins or obtain new ones from an industrial supply house--- thats the way we did ours--- FED 387

A carpenters claw hammer does a good job of removing dowel pins
