i can try to take a picture but the screws next to desrtoyed i thought about drillin a hole in it putting a steel rod in the hole, welding the rod to the screw and then turning the rod hopeing the screw loosens too.
but my dad said theres a good chance it would pry just break at the welds..
i gotta get this thing off tho.
my local diesel injection shop said they could pry replace the whole thing in an hour but he said they charge 89$ an hour! thats more than i paid for the fuel plate!
idk tho but i gotta get it out one way or another thanks.

I would try welding on it first. If that doesnt work try drilling out. However if your time is worth more than 89.00 an hour take it to the shop. But before you waste your money I would try and do anything to get it off.
Im sure doc knows a thing or three about rust.

Hey, you need to use the macro mode on your camera (the setting that has the little flower)...the pics will turn out much better.
Looks like you did a pretty good job on it. I think the next step is to to cut the head off the screw, lift off the AFC housing to get it out of the way and then probably drill out the rest of the screw (make sure you cover anything expsoed very well, you dont want metal inside your pump). You might have to drill a larger hole, tap it, and use the next bigger bolt/screw. Be careful doing this.

if i remember yould have to braze it not weld it mine was brass for some reason and like dr evil said if you can cut just the head off the screw there will be enough there to get some small vise grips on it and turn it out thats what the guys at cummins told me to do if i ever attemted doing one on a stock truck again
