Ok so this is only its third full season, My Hayward EP1550LX is making an awefull squelling sound, its definetly bearing related, just cant figure out how to get the motor apart to look at it, I have the impeller and all that off the unit but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the actual motor apart, im sure its fixable if I could get it apart, so first things first, does anyone know how this unit comes apart, and second if I were to just replace the entire unit which would be a proper replacement, this is my first pool and I have a 25" Swimpro by hayward (250 pound) sand filter, the current motor is a 2hp unit, not much info online about it, in fact I cant find anything over 1.5 hp online. Should I stay with a 2hp motor pump, my pool is a 30' round 52" high. Any help is grealy apreciated.

TIA
