No experience with that specific pump but the valve type is not unlike others. I would take the screws out and lube up the diaphragm lightly with petroleum jelly if it will come out of there.

I did take the diaphragm out to check if it was damaged but looked ok and cleaned it. I will try the petroleum jelly, thanks.
