Oil Pump Tools

Oil Pump Check Ball Seat Lapping Tool

This is used to lap the seat where the check ball sits in the oil pump (57-76).

Homemade check ball lapping tool made with a tool steel shank and a
3/8“ carbide ball tip on the end. The pocket for the ball to sit was cut
with a 3/8” ball end mill then a few drops of Loctite 404 to keep it there. 1)

Retaining Rings

These precision cuticle scissors are great for removing external retainer rings.
Especially the ones on oil pumps or anywhere they are hard to reach.
The normal ring pliers are bulky, the end points hardly match the holes and the tool usually slips off the retainer.

These scissors have fine points that won't break or slip on the retainers as the normal ones sometimes do.
You can get the points deeper into the holes which helps to hold the retainer more sturdy while removing it.
These work for removal and installation of the retainer rings. 2)
