Hey guys. I decided to take the oil injection system out of my engine and bought the pump block off kit. But now I can't figure out how I'm supposed to get the drive coupler out of the powerhead so I can install the plug. It doesn't turn and there isn't much to grab ahold of. Can somebody tell me how I get this out? I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Thanks.

The pump drive doesn't move. I assume the gear that is supposed to turn it is stripped.

What happens when you turn that shaft with a screwdiver ?

That is a plastic bushing for the rotation magnet and should just pull out. If its stuck just install a screw in slot and grab it and pull it out. Then you have access to oil drive.

Thanks, I'll try that.
