Thank you all for your advice. I guess the putty knife came in first and =
the trip to Nevada last by a long distance.=20

I sharpened up an old putty knife. Brought both side to a sharp point. =
Edged blade on first 1=E2=80=9D of one side and all down the other side.

Hammered it in about 2=E2=80=9D and used a hammer on the blunt side to =
force it length ways down the pan. Managed to get enough cork displaced =
to be able to get in a smallish builder=E2=80=99s bolster. Once that was =
in, I could revert to brute force and ignorance until the sump landed on =
my face.

Builder=E2=80=99s bolster? Not sure if that=E2=80=99s a uniquely British =
term. A big bluntish chisel used to cut brick or stone. Got a blade(?) =
about 4=E2=80=9D wide and maybe 3.5=E2=80=9D deep with an all metal =
handle which will take a really hard smack from any hammer you like. =
I=E2=80=99ve got one with a fairly slim blade and a longish handle which =
makes for good leverage.

God knows what the glue was. Red=E2=80=A6.set really hard. Not rubbery & =
seemingly not elasticized by heat.

The advice just in to only glue one side of the next gasket seems good.=20

=20

AND=E2=80=A6.

I recall someone mentioned a silicone gasket for sumps. I think his =
lacked the cutout for the pressure relief valve. Anyone know where to =
get one of those?
