A little afraid to take 'er apart with the long screws that run the length of the case until I really have time to mess with it... and even then, not sure if it'll go back together without being removed from the pump assembly. Think I may just take the pool guy up on his $280 installed quote... really wanted to do it myself because I trust my work quality far more than someone else's, but time is of the essence here due to other stuff going on this week.
