A local Austineer did not like to subject any of his 7 parts to possible damage from hammer blows, so devised an extractor; first thread the jet from the gallery side (I forget the size). Place a tubular section over/around the jet followed by a strong washer on top, then screw in a bolt of the same thread and size with a nut already on the shaft. Undo the nut, ensuring the bolt does not spin if necessary. The jet will be extracted with minimal stresses put on the 80 year old ali casting.
