Chancho Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well i ended up prying it off, and i only replaced it with a new ring from GM, however the old ring at 150k was still in good condition, not brittle or even showing signs of breaking through so i would have to say this ring should last the remaining life of the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHowell3633 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 When I did mine, I tried to grip the edge of the plug from the top in a verticle approach. I was not able to lift it this way. I opened the jaws of the vice grip and came into it horizontally and it came up just fine. That was just my experience. I tapped it prior to removing it all the way to be sure the rod remained in the pump and didn't come off with the piece I removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
