Bridgeport pump tube removal

Time to restore this Bridgeport pump..... It's a Bridgeport No. 5 I need to get it apart.. Although it's a double barrel Bridgeport pump, I don't believe Ford used the No. 5. This isn't for a show car, so good enough for what I need. Anyway, how are the brass tubes attached to the base? Threaded, pressed in?

David: I have a steel tube, later model and it is threaded. Yours likely is threaded also. jb

Thanks, next question….. trying to find an answer I saw mentioned there were a couple places on these pumps that used left hand threads. I’m guessing right hand on these, but did they by chance use left hand for some reason?

Both of mine were RH, but no guarantee. jb
