    Foot Valve Replacement

    I saw that as well. I didnt really understand where to hit and what that was really going to do. If I do get this out is there going to be a foot valve at the bottom? sounds like it might have a point, do points have check valves? do you replace the point or a check valve further up? Im...

    Foot Valve Replacement

    I would agree the car jack should be able to lift more but the issue I think I was havin was I could not lift straight. Which caused problems. I will try the car jack again pushing down on the outer case. I’ll have to think how that one is going to happen. I only had one pipe wrench big enough...

    Foot Valve Replacement

    Foot Valve Replacement

    I will try to put some air in there tonight but it feels like the casing is full all around the pitless. Maybe it is just sand? I will update with pictures when I get home.

    Foot Valve Replacement

    So tonight I made a t removal tool and tried to pull it out. Any trick to it? I tried pulling no movement. Tried a car jack nothing. Tried good ol brute force with a hammer and it doesn’t seem to move at all. Any idea how much force should be required. Was thinking a chain hoist might work...
