aspeltz Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am in the process of removing my pump panel aceess panel on my 85LS to get inside the pump. I have everything removed but for the life of me I can't remove the knob for the transfer valve. It is oval shaped and looks like it is threaded on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

kennylane Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Look closely all around the handle where it goes over the shaft. See if there is a round drive pin that goes through the handle, the shaft, and the handle again on the other side. It could possibly be threaded but I'll bet you drive it out with a punch. I hope this helps.I am in the process of removing my pump panel aceess panel on my 85LS to get inside the pump.

1958 F.W.D. Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I believe Kenny is going to be correct- If it's oval, it is probably a Waterous pump and transfer valve, which means you need a punch to drive out the pin.

aspeltz Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 It is a Hale pump but has an oval shaped handle for the transfer valve. It doesn't appear to have a drive pin but there is what looks like a tab between the threaded post and the handle where it slides on the post, only on one side though.

609albert Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I took ours off last year , I thought it had a cap nut on it, looks like yours doesn't might have a keyway (woodrif) and you might need a small wheel puller to get it off, and it has a HALE pump let us know how it came off.

Road Hog Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Also check where the rod from the handle goes to the valve--sometimes the rod at the valve has the retaining pin-then the rod and knob will unscrew from the valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
