I am unable to get at that nut to secure it... Not a lock nut I don't think. Maybe this will better explain the situation.... http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=18ZRwR4WIyatJcjc6PvADsiopuw1

Have you given it a liberal dosing of PlusGas, or whatever rust eater/nut freer you have over there? -- Clive

If you can't get a good hold of the spacer nut then cut the bolt with a hack saw. You may have to put a small wedge of wood between the pump and bracket to get the .04" gap you need to fit a hack saw blade between the bracket and the spacer nut. You should be able to cut thru a 3/8" bolt in about five mins. with a good blade. After the bolt is cut the pump will lift out of the bracket. If you need a spacer in their on reassembly in order to make it fit securely use a washer for the spacer. -jim
