Do I need a new pump?

Any DIY threads on this? Extremely hard to search on my phone. Thanks!

Might want to take a look at YouTube and see if they have a video. I just got an exploded view of my pump/motor from the Mom n' Pop pool store here, and it's pretty much self-explanatory from there. The first time I had to replace mine, I just took the pump apart one piece at a time, making sure that I remembered the order to put it back. It was easy and took only a few minutes to replace.

A few years later, when my pump started leaking from the bottom, I ignored it for the whole season.....and so when Spring hit this year and my bearings were seized because I ignored it, I spent the first few days of swimming time replacing my pump, and the next 2 weeks cleaning up my swampy pool! Won't do that again......
