Re: The Joy of the Mikado Axle Pump
Hi, Ok, I got the screws out after putting the eccentric rod assembly into a vice. It's just a bad omen and I am not looking forward to connecting the check valve to the bypass valve with the water pipe.

Re: The Joy of the Mikado Axle Pump
Try some heat; A propane torch should help. DO NOT get carried away. Just a little. And the obvious is to make sure the screw driver really fits. Phil.P. Reading,PA. (PS You ready for the Blizzard?)

Re: The Joy of the Mikado Axle Pump
Eric, Thanks, I tried that as I recalled a suggestion from a previous post here before throwing in the towel. I got them out finally and I am getting new screws to wrap up the kit. This whole kit was an adventure because it was retrofitted. For the most part, I reviewed Walt's previous posts on the kit and cleared up some other incongruencies with Jerry Hyde since the written instructions and diagrams were incomplete. I am looking forward to the longer run times. To see it run again with the pump kit will give me great satisfaction! halfdan wrote: Joe, I have found that heat will loosen threadlock..Cheers, Eric Hi, The Mikado Axle Pump kit has been a real treat so far.
