Fuel screw collar removal

[ByramTra]

I have tried to remove the collar on the IP fuel screw, to no avail. I have also done some searching and havn't found anything yet.  I completely ground threw the collar on one side and it didn't come loose, I have one spare screw in a spare pump, so...
Any idias?
Thanks

Did you try loosening the lock nut, then turn the screw, leaving the collar alone?

[ByramTra]

Ya, got it to go in slightly, will have to try it on the other one.

On my '79 the collar was spot welded to the screw in a couple of places.  It took a lot of effort to get it off without messing up the screw.  It still damaged a couple of threads though.  I wonder if it would actually be better to drill the pump slightly so that the collar would turn in a little further.

I used a dremal tool to cut my lose. just take your time and be patient. A Little peice of metal is HOPEFULLY not smarter then you.

I did try cutting it but must not have gotten all the way threw, although I think i did start getting into the threads. if I did end up removing some of the threads it should still be fine though, when I get a chance I will try to work on it some more.

I cut mine with a small cutting wheels on an 1/4" angle air grinder...then I used a small chisel to break it loose and off the screw..

Wow, spot welded? Normally you can simply pry it off with a screwdriver blade.

mine was spot welded on the shaft, and crimped too. it was kinda a bastard to get off, but i did it.

I know mine is crimped on, and being in california I wouldn't be suprised if it is spot welded also, just havn't inspected it good enough.

dremel tool with a cutoff wheel.  the fiber one that doesn't snap.  cut through it and turn it half a turn out and cut through it again.  if it is spot welded as mine was, cut it there.  should practically fall off then.

chisel it off.
