I have decided that I must remove the guts from my pump, it's just too heavy with them in and the wife can't even help me move it a short distance. Not only that, it's leaking gas and oil, and I want to put it in the house.

So, that being said, how do I get this stuff out? I have both doors off, the pulley removed and the faces off. All the bolts are rusted in something fierce and I don't even know where to begin. Should I just take a cutoff wheel to most of the bolts?

Is it safe to cut the large diameter pipes inside if there is still remnants of gas in it?

I'm hitting everything with PB Blaster and I'm no stranger to rusted bolts since I've worked on Jeeps for years. That said, these are some tough bolts.
