Re: Hydraulic Pump Rebuild - Day 6

[Ssgacc@aol.com]

Sorry to tell you this Phil, but I've done three so far and these were much
harder than the piston caps.  I used a 4mm Lisle 3/8" socket with an impact
driver.  One screw took six cycles on heating with propane torch-spray with
Aerokroil penetrating oil-hit with impact driver.  Twisted the allen key
portion of the socket like a candy cane, but they came out.  I always use
Antiseize on the rusted/corroded threads after chasing them with taps and
dies.  Good luck and they do get easier after the first.
