Michael:
They're designed stay in the block. Do you want to replace that
shaft? You do know that the thread in that shaft is metric?
If you're using the right bolt, remove the bolt. Drop a real long 1/2
inch drive deep well socket over the shaft. The socket must be deep
enough that it touches the block but the shaft doesn't hit the bottom
of the socket. About a one-half inch space would be ideal. Put a
washer on the bolt, stick it through the square drive hole of the
socket, and thread it into the shaft. You want about 6-7 full turns
of the bolt before it bottoms against the socket. Screw the bolt in,
and it should draw out the shaft. You may need to add washers after
the shaft has come out some.
Alternatively, make up a short bar with three holes in it. Make the
center hole a bit larger than the diameter of the bolt used to screw
into the shaft. Thread the two outer holes to about 5/16 or 3/8 SAE
fine. Bridge the apparatus over the shaft and screw the center bolt
into the shaft. As the two 5/15 bolts are turned in the bar will act
like a miniature puller and remove the shaft. Be careful the bolts
don't mar the mating sufface of the block where the pump fits.
