unscrew the spring?  I had thouhgt of that, but decided that everyone
probably pops the end cap off the piston then goes from there.

Unscrewing the spring is probably better for the pump, not so good for
the spring,  but maybe I should  re-consider what I'm trying to do.
remove the spring without destroying the pump.   The spring's well
being is of minor consequence to me, but I don't want it to be too bad
off.

(gingerly un screwing spring)

there,  unscrewed spring, not too bad off,  and I'm sure it will go
back on without too much of a fuss.



Thanks alot,                ...let the electro-mechanical pumpin'
begin!

I see alot of people remove the spring from the large pump to make a
better motorized pump.  I'm gonna try that myself, but I'd hate to
destroy my only large pump, so I'm asking for experience.

Is there anything I should know before I attempt this procedure?

Thanks

(...) Congrats on getting it off successfully...it took me some work to get one off and I ended up bending the spring slightly. However in my testing it seemed that the large pump, even without the spring, performed a bit worse than the smaller pump (...) (24 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
