I used a small die-tap and screwed it in and then used pliers to pull it out. They all came out in one piece. One of them had a broken piece around the bottom of the valve.
I will be trying something similar, to what you were doing later today,,I think that was a pretty ingenious idea grinding a hook, out of that All Thread Rod,and using that to catch the bottom of the Valve.I like that idea.The Manifold that I'm working on the Valves ,are really stuck in the Manifold ports as well , I was going to try to use a Screw, but I will probably try some of your ideas to remove them as well ,and thanks for your video
Good job man! I might be able to finally figure out the 3 pumps that has kicked my butt! The catspaw crowbar and the drill ideas....you impressed me and I'm a mechanic lol
I’ve done a bunch of this style pump check valves. My attempts were futile until I found my 1/4 “ tap when inserted into the center and gently tapped on grabs them tightly and then pulls them out easily . Best way I’ve found. Of course I do give them a lube also. Give it a try.
The Works toilet bowl cleaner works great to clean the whole inside out. Just pour some in there after valves are removed. Prop it and let it sit for a while while it just disintegrates all the hard water deposits. No work no effort. Just use gloves and try to keep it off your hands. It's Sulfuric acid and will burn a lil bit. It actually works great on many sinks too, literally just melts the water stains away and it's dirt cheap.
I had the same problem. After the plastic broke off. Then took the spring and cup washer off. Then I used an easy out bit. Hammered it in twisted and all three pulled right out. Also sprayed lubricant before.
The process I used is to load an EasyOut screw extractor in to the cordless drill.
I hadn't thought of either of these ideas. I will try tomorrow. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you. Drill bit got it spinning. Used an extractor bit to get it out.
Drill bit worked like a charm! Good call
A #4 spiral screw extractor works great too!

Dude, been in my second floor apartment trying to pull the last 2 out. Thanks man, I’m gonna try that. Like the thread and prying trick. Great video

great ideas, thanks for sharing :)
On some, the bolts that bolt the pump together will screw into the valve hole...
