        Listerati,

        I'm rebuilding my spare AC fuel pump and I've hit a snag.

        I've got everything apart and clean, and I've got the lower half
of the pump body back together with a new diaphragm in place. I'm 
using a "County" brand rebuild kit I got from TRF about a year ago.

        The problem is getting the two new valves into their bores
in the upper body without destroying them. I remember others having 
trouble with this, and I tried the "valves in the freezer" trick, but it's
no
good. I can't get the valves started, much less seated. I'm at the point
where I usually just use excessive force and the first tool that falls to
hand, thereby breaking something. Anyone have a better idea?

        Best Regards,

        Tom Marincic
