Some that we have tried to remove has ended in damaging the pump body ( pic) where the common sense says, "walk away, walk away and come back to it" but, the little devil inside is determined not to be beat.After a lot of thinking we came up with the ideal tool, a simple tap. Remove all the rubber from the seal with a scapel leaving just the metal case of the seal. Knock the tap in so it grips, turn and it is out with no damage whatsoever This is brilliant and works as described. Thank you.I tried drilling, prying, heat.............the.... My seal popped right with an M17x2.0 tap.did you use m17x2 tap as they come or did you have to do any grinding to it? tapered or bottom tap?thank you.
