Replacing a shaft seal

[mdenegre]

Actually that is not to bad my concern is when they can even get to it. I left a message with a clerk and have not heard back yet

Assuming you have a threaded shaft in your motor you'll need to take the rear plate off the motor to expose the rear of the shaft and use a screwdriver to hold the shaft as you turn the impeller counterclockwise until it comes off. If you have no rear plate, I've heard there may be a plate in the middle of the motor casing that exposes the shaft and that you will need a 7/16 open-end wrench to hold the shaft. Please disregard if the assumption of a threaded shaft is incorrect.

Hope this helps.

I brought it to a local pool store, yes it is a threaded shaft, but with no access to the shaft except form behind the impeller. The tech guy there didn't want to force it because he had no replacement impeller in stock (smart move I thought!) Athough after reading your post I will reinspect for that mid plate somewhere.

Thanks a bunch
