Thanks, I'll go buy that specific wrench, we have a Sears tool shop nearby. (Edit: I'll probably just grind down a wrench I already have to make it thin enough since I have several duplicates of each size.)

How do I test the plunger to see if it is moving? Also, to be clear, you're saying that sometimes the sleeve remains in the pump and sometimes comes out with the filter so I just need to make sure the sleeve stays since my new filter doesn't come with one?
