I just wanted to comment on the suggestions of using heat to "soften"
the o-rings.
First, it's pretty much heat (and age of course) that has hardened them
- if heat softened them, you could just run the engine to do it.
Second, I'd be leery of applying anything other than a lukewarm hot
water bottle to a device that recently had pressurized gasoline inside
it - and probably leaks a bit.
I think the various solvent/lubricant-based ideas batted around are a
better bet, especially fairly safe stuff like WD40. That, and a nice
long lever to work the tool ought to do it.
