Dear 55 Clipper:

Actually the production time for your unit is less than half an hour at a mass rebuilder. They have presses set up for runs of specific pumps.

I used to do those things, but found that buying the completed unit from a vendor was more cost effective.

The pulley hub will come off given the unit is placed in an arbor press with a bearing splitter and a cardboard box to catch the falling pump.

When disassembling high dollar (Packard) pumps the careful application of a torch will prevent casting damage and free stubborn parts like that pulley hub.

Hope this helps
