2000 hydraulic pump rebuild

[Willy P]

I got a repair kit for this pump and the seats for
the inlet valves are in the kit how do I take the
old ones out? Is there a special tool and what does
it look like? Thanks

Willy,
Before you spend a lot of time on getting the old ones out, look them over. I did the rebuild on my pump (64 4000). I did not change the seats on mine as they were just fine. My problem was a bad spring.
The seats are, well just seats. As long as they are not nicked or cut or wore, they will still do their job.

Assuming you have the piston pump that is on the 4 cylinder 2000, I would do like Keith says. Inspect the seats, then replace the balls and springs. The seat rarely wear out. Unless they are nicked, cracked, or badly worn, I would leave them alone.
