Tom, I rebuilt my AC pump from a TR4A. The valves were not fitted
the way the TRF catalog seemed to think they were. Mine were
crimped in place. I could not rebuild the valve half of the pump and I
replaced it (top half) with one of the repro units.
I guess that if you use a dremel tool to remove the reimps from the
aluminum seats, then you might get it to fit. I simply buggered it up...

Subject: TR6/250 Fuel Pump Overhaul
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
