Pulling and installing the oil pump on 1123 or 1139 series Stihl

[Stihl-Pioneer]

To pull the oil pump on the 1123 or 1139 series saws, do you have to use the Stihl puller or could you use a small slide hammer setup if you have a stud (the correct thread) to thread in the oil pump? To reinstall could you use a stud and lightly tap it in with a plastic mallet until it seats? What is the thread size? Thanks.

Thats how I do it. Just thread a screw in the bottom of the pump, a long one, grab the screw with a pair of vice grips and hit the vice grips with a hammer, out comes the pump. I use a screw that they use on the old BR blowers where they hold the hose to the unit, works perfect. Thread size I'm not sure.

To make it easy scratch a line in the case at the top of the pump before you take it out. Then when you put it back to the line its at the right height..
