The push rod slid down after I greased the area to hold it back when I going in install new pump.
i cannot seem to slid it back now that it slimy. There is a plug in the cast that seems to for replacing the rod. It's the "star type" not square to remove it. It's a tool I don't have.
Questions:
is that a large torquex for my socket? Anyone know the size and what it's called?
Any tricks to heating it if it stuck? Don't think it's a good idea to light my torch even with wet towels around area.
any other ideas how to grab the rod and pull it back? I seem only have one hand and only a finger to slide it back. I was thinking to make special long needle nose type grabber with rubber tongues
