    This has been done before but here's my version.
    The soldering around the pump tube was leaking bad, so i thought that cleaning the surfaces and retinning was a must.

    I made a thingamabob to hold/handle the pump tube.
    An old defective NRV and a piece of 5mm steel was brassed together. And crooked it is :roll:

    A slight heat with a torch and out it went

    Heres the crummy soldering

    Thorough cleaning and retinning

    Resolder and clean with steel wire brush

    Water test and no bubbles :D/

    Some cleaning is needed but now she works again
