The Spring is stiff. Try grabbing the Pump and pusing the Roller or Rod end of the Pump against a Wooden Door frame. That way you can sort of lean your weight on it.
It is possible for the Piston to be rusted in place.
If you remove the 30 something mm plug you can remove the Piston and the Spring.
If you remove the Large Plug on the Pump you will not have another Crush washer for it and that Crush Washer is thin and if it sticks it is hard to remove it with out bending it. I just put some Thread Sealant on the Plug and screw it back in.
If you use Blue Loctite try to get it only on the back 2-3 threads.
