Here’s a trick you might be interested in. Are used a Dremel tool with a long extended cord handpiece and I put in tiny stone bits. They are very carefully ground away the bolts until I had a smooth concave surface for me to put my drill bit on. And then you have to drill them deep. I Used small shallow easy outs on my first attempt and they all broke off in the bolts so the only way to get through such a hard steel was to use a stone bit. When I ground away the old easy outs, I drilled it deeper and used a long easy out and the broken threads came right out. I was amazed because I didn’t even damage the threads. It just takes a long time using the Dremel tool with stone bits to grind down a bolts lengthwise.It is a zen like exercise in skill and patience so make sure you’re not a in a hurry when you do it. Allow for a lot of time. And have at least 5 stone bits per bolt.
I'm guessing the spool valve. Otherwise known as a spool valve is stuck. It's not allowing the water to unload once you release the trigger. The 3 pump valves pump pressure constantly. So if the unloader won't relive the pressure? Something has to give? Weakest link would be the inlet? Good luck
friend, one question, the position of the water seals that go inside the copper cup, are you sure they go down? with the tab on the contrary, both rubber seals should not go the same way down
I got that pump running again and had a couple of issues, I keep it on a shelf just in case because I could use it. Bought another and have been using it since. I think one of the sub contractors tightened the pressure spring because he had an issue with me. Whatever. I learned to work on these pumps. Have a great day.
Good video. Not exactly my pump, but it did give me just enough information on how (and where) to fill the pump with oil. Leave it to Homelite to basically tell you that if it's leaking oil, return it to an "authorized service center" (or course, there isn't any within 50 miles of me, and Home Depot is clueless). The oil on the tag says SAE 85W/90, which is basically gear oil that goes into jacks and sometimes car differentials. Might be why it's so black, as it's NOT a changable fluid under normal circumstances. But I get the gist on how much and how to put it in now, so since I've been looking for about 2.5 hours on the internet with nary a CLUE on where and how, you certainly answered my questions. And I"ll be certain to tighten the bolts pretty darned snuggly too.
the grey coloured oil...what grad is it? is it diffrent from motor oil... i need to replace mine...and its kinda hard to get specific oils around my place
I forgot what oil I used. I think it was gear oil. I went back and watched my video again. Some people use straight 30 weight. I put plumbers grease on the seals for the water area of the pump. Anyways, I bought a new pump and this one sits on the shelf. Just in case.
The strength of the bolt has nothing to do with it it's too much power for that pump and blew the bolt out of the threads that's what happened in my opinion.
I believe contractors at the job site messed with me and cranked the pressure adjusting screw and it blew my pump. Assholes. I replaced it. Still have the old one.

Finally I found a video that shows what the spring side of the inner pump looks like. Thanks Bro!
Right on. This is a tear down to show how it works.

Since its a aluminum housing you could have dissolved the broken bolt with alum and water.
The same alum that is in the spice section.
I need to try that in the shop. Really? Very interesting. Have a great day.

Glad I could help. Great Comment. Thank You.
I know its been 2 years but do you remember how much oil you put in ? My pump is a 28/2.5. But should be similar...kinda of...lol
How much did you end up using?

So That Is How They Look On The Inside Great Video,Yea Free Tools Are Not Bad.
Cool man. Thanks for stopping by. Rebuild is next at some point. It will run again.
Pretty Cool.
Very common problem with those pumps. Can be a real pain sometimes
Just got the pressure washer out again. Hope it works well. Otherwise I know what to do. Thanks for commenting. Have a good season.
it's a swashplate pump similar to an ac compressor.
Thank you for explaining that. Makes sense. Interesting. I learned a lot by taking this apart.
The strength of the bolt has nothing to do with it it's too much power for that pump and blew the bolt out of the threads that's what happened in my opinion.

Really helpful and interesting video, thanks. Not sure what all the down votes are all about.
Glad I could help and Thank You.
Nice upload
Thank You.
