ok i need help, and not just the mental kind( though that wouldnt heart eather)
I have a manuel tire pump, that has come apart on the inside. the valve has come loose from the end of he shaft and the rubber is still down the barrel of the pump.
I would like to fix it, and make it funictional again. but i cannot get the rubber out.
in a word HELP.

If it is a floor pump - most of those that I have seen the main body is a tube that is threaded on both ends and you can unscrew it to get the plunger out. Not sure on yours but I hope that helps.

Good deal! I think that some light duty locktite or a double nut of some kind may be in order so that it doesn't come undone on you again.:jester:

Sounds like you need an air compressor.
