my "smart ass response" was simply saying what i was looking at: the engaged gears. Im so stupid, i thought that gear would prevent me from getting to the pump drive. Now, one answer, above, has me doing things to remove a gear requireing unscrewing things, another says a strong magnet will do it. i dont get how im a smart ass for this, but whatever.
ill try the magnet trick. I cant picture how the other method is executed......Thank you very much.
