My beloved 20 year old, all steel construction, Schwinn 1500 floor pump has decided to choke itself on its rubber plunger. The plunger came clean off the rod and is lodged down at the bottom of the tube. I've not been able to dislodge it.
I'm not impressed with most new floor pumps, and this one was working fine before now, so I'd like to get the thing out somehow, rather than replace it. Does anybody have any ideas how I might get hold of that plunger stuck at the bottom of the tube?
Thanks.
Edit: I just tried blowing it out with an air compressor set at 110 lbs., with no luck.
