Joe, I have that old rusty one here. Would photos of the pump assembly 
help visualize what to look for? I suppose it has to come off anyways to

What a PITA. good luck with that.

At least you are doing this BEFORE you run the motor! Could be a lot worse!

Have you added some ZDDP supplement to the oil for startup?
