    Thanks much for the reply. I don't know. I have acetylene torch, vise, punch etc. but would need to securely setup pump each time, get pump hot & while hot smack the punch with my hammer strongly, straight on & reliably. I was thinking the 1 ton arbor press with about a 6' to bottom and 5" throat would be simpler. Put the press on my work bench, place pump in correct position and apply 1 ton pressure on the pin. I just don't if 1 ton is sufficient or that matter if that's the correct way to do it. But heating and smacking every one seems like more work.



    FYI; Grizzly & or Harbor Freight tools both advertise a bench mounted 1 ton arbor press for bout $60.

    Put a piece of rail road iron on the ground and hit it with a sledgehammer. Heat is not nessecery nothing is faster
