Thanks for response, but please look at other questions and try to answer, if only from memory...
I did attack my AAV yesterday with socket and hammer, and got the Bulb Assembly to move (about 0.100"), but not the Insert (this tells me that they were not in contact, and that they were pressed into place as a two-step operation)...I have it soaking in penetrant and will try again today...I dislike impact force of a Hammer (although that is what it might take to get things moving initially)...I might continue with the more gentle and continuous force of a vice or Arbor Press.
Re MPS...a friend of mine did repair his (typical cracked Diaphragm failure) successfully a long time ago...he machined two forming dies and used them in a press to form the bellows shape into a piece of sheet (Brass?...gauge?...he probably just measured gauge of the failed one and used the same for the repair)..unfortunately, those dies are long-gone...good luck with that project...please document this well also...
Cheers
