I pressed it off with the hydraulic press and had a very dirty, but
pristine spline shaft remaining on the pump.

I spent a lot of time machining a spline broach to mount a pulley on a
salvaged splined shaft pump. When the die-cast pulley loosened after a
few years I bought the $100 keyed shaft pump I should have the first
time.

I'm having fun. Basically I'm turning a log splitter into a dual acting
hydraulic shop press. I've found spline shaft adapters. I'm probably
going
to with with a direct drive 1750 RPM electric motor and an oldham style
coupler.

Sadly I found a nipple snapped off in the control valve. Hopefully
removing
that won't be quite as big of an adventure.

Greetings Bob,
In case you are not familiar with them I would like to mention a tool
made for removing and tightening nipples. It can be found in the
plumbing section of practically any decent hardware store. The tool is
made from hex stock that has had one end turned and knurled with a
very coarse knurl. In the center of the knurled section a groove is
machined that holds a knurled cam. When the tool is inserted into a
piece of pipe and turned the cam grips the inside of the pipe. These
tools work very well and are cheap.

Eric & Jim,

I like to think of myself as a tool guy. I have to be honest though.
While I have seen that tool before I didn't know what it was. Thank you.

So you're aware, there are some for PVC sprinkler heads, too. Lots of
those get knocked off so they made what looks like a long-handled
tapered reamer to remove the broken stub in the below-ground tee.

Well, I bought a set of the inside pipe wrenchs... and they didn't work.
Oh, they might have if there was a decent size stub of pipe left, but the
part broken off was only a few threads long, and the tool just didn't bite
in properly. So, I bought a set of ez-out style pipe stub removers and it
worked perfectly. About the same price. I had to gently set the remover
with a hammer, but then an adjustable wrench easily turned it out.

So now you have both sets, for next time. This is A Good Thing(tm).
