Lead Valve washer removal

Doron Papo · 21. November 2005

Hi All

Another question to the forum - I have taken out the check valve (Part #10)
But the lead washer(Part #83) is still stuck in the pump shaft
Is there a good way to take the lead washer out? (from your expiriance)
or just add another one and seal hard?
Thanks for any info

This isn't a good idea; it's possible that you will get leakages at the sealing. Or you may loose pump way, and the piston will hit the check valve, or may be both.

Please try to remove the lead seal. Therefore you can try a (flat) hand driller and turn it slowly until it got the sealing out. But be carefully; don’t damage the thread or the sealing surface.
