Good to see you got that threaded plug out. They can be problematic at times. While heating the plug and dripping beeswax on the threads seems to be the accepted way to remove those, I just haven’t had much luck doing it that way. I end up having to drill a hole in the plug and use a square style broken screw extractor to remove those plugs. I like to run taps in all the threaded holes before vatting to insure that the threads are clean and undamaged.

Another way of moving stubborn plugs or broken bolts is to weld a nut on it.

Gerotor pumps aren't available new. Rebuild kits are available, Melling K-56, if you can find a good used one to rebuild.
