Here's what my stuck pump looked like. The large spring at the bottom is compressed. The fuel lever that fits into the rack couldn't rotate left or right.
Took the top off the fuel pump with a 17mm. It's normal right-hand threads.
Looking inside, the plunger is the shinier piece in the very center that has the round and square holes.
I set up a pair of scrap 2x4's arranged in a V and put a clean paper towel on them. Then I slid the pump towards the narrow end of the V. A 1/4" brass punch is slightly smaller than the plunger (5/16" was too big). Using a hammer, I gently tapped on the brass punch to push the plunger down. In my case, the spring pulled the plunger the rest of the way down after roughly 1/8" of tapping.
