In a fuel pump for a 1948, how are the check valves replaced. Appear to be pressed in. Carl

Not sure what you guys are looking at. I have a similar fuel pump in my 42. The check valves are replaceable. In fact I just looked on the shelf for a repair kit and it includes replacement check valves. There maybe somesort of retainer to hold them in place. 42 Wagon

There are 3 types of valves for the fuel pumps. One is the early style where the valve is in pieces, one is where the valves are in one piece and staked in place and the third i the most common type where the valve are held in place by a retainer that is held in place by a screw. The OP seems to have the type that is staked in. The Service Letters say that these require a special tool to replace the valve.

Tom describes the one I have as 'staked in'. As long as it cannot just be pried out and new ones driven in with a socket, I'll leave them be. The original intention was to replace the diaphram and related linkage. Carl
