Cross posting for more help. My TRW pump is off my '67 Plymouth Fury.
My plan was to take the reservoir off and only replace the large reservoir o-ring, but while it was apart I noticed the circlip on the flow control valve was jammed. That's when I decided to tear the whole thing down. After tearing it down the end of the flow control valve is a little chewed up where it was jammed, and the circlip seat/groove is slightly notched.
Once I got down to the bearing, it was missing 1 needle. I think this thing must have been apart before.
2 questions:
How can I press the bearing out? There is only access to the bearing on one side. The back side it covered. If anyone has a picture of them pressing the bearing out that would be great.
What should I do about the end of the flow control valve? Should I try to sand the tip to smooth it out?
