if you have turned the diaphram at all, you have probably rotated it away from the lowst slope part. You have to gently pull and turn until you find the lowest slope side of the LDA pin.  Then it will pop right out.

If the seal on the dinky little pin that rides on the LDA is shot, its almost impossible to get the LDA pin out.  You may have to pull the top of the pump off and disassemble the linkage under the space ship.

I hade to do this when I bult my 1.5TD pump.  I had an acient TD pump with bagged seals.  The LDA pin would not come out at all.

Rotate the lda pin 360 degrees and pull. It should clear the pin.
