replacing mechanical fuel pump, did not anchor with longer bolt as was suggested in this forum. Saw the thread after the fact. I cannot seem to get the rod into the up position or to move at all. This is my first fuel pump install so i do not have a reference point of how much that rod should move, how to move it, and how easily it should move. How do I get this into the up position?

I have tried cranking it several times, appears not to be moving.

Any suggestions?

TIA
