The process I used is to load an EasyOut screw extractor in to the cordless drill. I ran the drill in the reverse direction, and the screw extractor bit into the metal valve seat and pulled it loose from the housing. Worked great after trying many other methods without any success.
I’ve done a bunch of this style pump check valves. My attempts were futile until I found my 1/4 “ tap when inserted into the center and gently tapped on grabs them tightly and then pulls them out easily . Best way I’ve found. Of course I do give them a lube also. Give it a try.
I used a small die-tap and screwed it in and then used pliers to pull it out. They all came out in one piece. One of them had a broken piece around the bottom of the valve.
The Works toilet bowl cleaner works great to clean the whole inside out. Just pour some in there after valves are removed. Prop it and let it sit for a while while it just disintegrates all the hard water deposits. No work no effort. Just use gloves and try to keep it off your hands. It's Sulfuric acid and will burn a lil bit. It actually works great on many sinks too, literally just melts the water stains away and it's dirt cheap.
I will be trying something similar, to what you were doing later today,,I think that was a pretty ingenious idea grinding a hook, out of that All Thread Rod,and using that to catch the bottom of the Valve.I like that idea.The Manifold that I'm working on the Valves ,are really stuck in the Manifold ports as well , I was going to try to use a Screw, but I will probably try some of your ideas to remove them as well ,and thanks for your video
Good job man! I might be able to finally figure out the 3 pumps that has kicked my butt! The catspaw crowbar and the drill ideas....you impressed me and I'm a mechanic lol
I had the same problem. After the plastic broke off. Then took the spring and cup washer off. Then I used an easy out bit. Hammered it in twisted and all three pulled right out. Also sprayed lubricant before.
I have the exact pump you are working on with three screws used to attach. Where can I buy the replacement pressure washer valves? How do I know if it is the right part?
The spinning drill bit didn't work for me, what worked for me was just hammering in the bit until it really bites good, putting a cloth over the edge of the bit and putting the pliars over that so it won't slip then pulling really hard. I was about ready to give up.
For the smaller pumps shown in the video there is a valve on the side which you can unscrew, which allows you to drain/refill, on others there isn't and if you need to drain/refill them you'll have to remove the top of the pump to do that
You can find the whole pump on eBay or amazon, or like Mike said just do a Google search on the model of pump you're working on, find a parts diagram for it, and most of those parts will also be found on either site
Nice to know another thing to try, most of the valves I work on are corroded/surrounded by crud so they do not come out easily, if the O ring is still in there I use those small dental type of pics to pull it out
I know for the models with the higher psi the valves can be pricey but the lower psi ones the valves typically sell in the range of $20/$30 and the water seals around $15. Those are ball park numbers cause they do fluctuate a little in price.

I hadn't thought of either of these ideas. I will try tomorrow. Thank you so much for posting this.
Dude, been in my second floor apartment trying to pull the last 2 out. Thanks man, I’m gonna try that. Like the thread and prying trick. Great video
What has your second floor apartment got to do with anything ?
A #4 spiral screw extractor works great too!

can u tell me what 1/4 tap u used ?
Gonna try this tomorrow, will report back if it works.
AWESOME!! YOU ROCK DUDE! SAVED MY ASS A FEW BUCKS! THANKS
Thank you. Drill bit got it spinning. Used an extractor bit to get it out.
I used a small die-tap and screwed it in and then used pliers to pull it out. They all came out in one piece. One of them had a broken piece around the bottom of the valve.
Drill bit worked like a charm! Good call
The drill bit thing works really well I just ran it in and used the bit to yank out the brass fitting. Thanks for the help
Hilton Bastick glad it help out
what kind of drill bit did u use bud got the dame problem right now
I used a drill bit that is used on metal, and one that is slightly larger than the hole in the metal base of the valve you're trying to get out
Yes really good video, thanks!

Thx for that info, I'll give it a try
great ideas, thanks for sharing :)

Getting those valves out kicked my butt for a long time so really glad if this helps in any way. Thx for your feedback.
Good job man I'm gonna try that tomorrow
I had the same problem. After the plastic broke off. Then took the spring and cup washer off. Then I used an easy out bit. Hammered it in twisted and all three pulled right out. Also sprayed lubricant before.
I ended up using a drill bit that was just barely oversized, and they came out.
On some, the bolts that bolt the pump together will screw into the valve hole...

Most replacement valves can be found on either eBay or Amazon. Just make sure you use the model number off of your pump to get the right valves.
Your voice sounds like Mel Gibson and Sylvester stallone. :)
It does!
Blind hole bearing puller would have probably worked good ! I get them from harbor freight tools for car or truck pilot bearing clutch removal tool
Thx for that feedback, I'll take a look at it
Thank you sir . 🙏
You are most welcome
My AR from my John Deere had 4 stuck, im having limited success with a 3/8ths screw, there really needs to be a pulley for these
I'm in total agreement, there should be, another option to try is a blind hole bearing puller, I've never used one but it looks like it could help

How do you put oil inside the pump?
For the smaller pumps shown in the video there is a valve on the side which you can unscrew, which allows you to drain/refill, on others there isn't and if you need to drain/refill them you'll have to remove the top of the pump to do that
Great idea for getting this model out very nice 👍
Can you please send mi the number of the replacement valve( 6)
Thanks
Hi, for the AR2233 valve kit it'll fit a lot of the 2200psi to 2700psi pumps, picked up mine from Amazon
You can try left hand cut drill bits,that way you don’t have to worry about going to for down,,,,good info btw
Thanks for that info, I'm not familiar with those but it's good info to have, appreciate the feedback
It will drill the same as a right hand drill bit. The part is press fitted not right hand threaded.
Thanks.
Hey I'm working on the same kind of pressure washer pump. Do you know where can I find the replacement????
Erick Marin put the model number in google and the parts list will come up.
You can find the whole pump on eBay or amazon, or like Mike said just do a Google search on the model of pump you're working on, find a parts diagram for it, and most of those parts will also be found on either site
Amazon or local pressure washer store
Any videos on how to get the unloader valve out?
Thanks bro
I use an air hose with an air nozzle and use air pressure to blow them out without damage how do you get the o-rings to seal?
Nice to know another thing to try, most of the valves I work on are corroded/surrounded by crud so they do not come out easily, if the O ring is still in there I use those small dental type of pics to pull it out
just heat up a screw driver and the plastic on check valve will break
I just bought new pump for 73.00 $ the gasket kit is about 85,
I know for the models with the higher psi the valves can be pricey but the lower psi ones the valves typically sell in the range of $20/$30 and the water seals around $15. Those are ball park numbers cause they do fluctuate a little in price.
You talk too much
Get to the point
