Fuel Pump - help with rebuild info - Pontiac v-8

[Guest JDHolmes]

I'm in the process of rebuilding my fuel pump for the 55 stationwagon. I received the rebuild kit today and started taking it apart. It is a dual diaphram pump. I have both the top and the bottom off, but I find no way to unhook the diaphram rods from the internal arm without knocking out the pins to the arm (and losing internal springs).

Does anyone have a 55 manual who could give me some info. My motors manual is no help whatsoever on this pump, not even an exploded parts view so I'm stuck.

thanks

Over the years I have rebuilt several of these, mostly for Buick's but I don't think your fuel pump is much different. I have found that by pushing in at the center of the diaphragm and turning slightly they should unhook from the center link arm.
