I recently purchased my first visible gas pump - it's a Fry 117. The actual pump that's located in the base is frozen up, and I'd like to disassemble it and clean / lube all of the internal parts, to see if I can free it up. The body bolts came out without any problem, but I can't separate the cover from the body much more than 1/4" before it gets pretty hard. Does the black piece that fits around the shaft (with the two spanner wrench holes in it) need to come off before I can remove the cover? If anyone has any pictures of the internals of one of these pumps, please share them. I've been unable to find anything online. Thanks!
