Always make sure to have a firm grip on your shaft

Wow! Couldn't get any more direct and informative explanation than this. Thank you!

I have used your video three times. GOD BLESS you!!!!!!

Thanks. Best explanation on KZfaq or possibly the entire world. I was really struggling until I found this😂

Thank you for making this video. Helped me very much. Thought that this was going to be a much harder project prior to watching your video. Saved me a lot of money doing it myself too.

Best video ever! Thank you for being so thorough from start to finish.

Amazing video. Would love to watch this video again featuring other pumps.

Very well done guy. Went to start my pump for the first time of the season and it was just humming. Then tripped the beaker. Tomorrow I'm going to check the electrical connections then make sure there is nothing that caused it to seize up by pulling it apart but I'm thinking it's shot and needs replacement. Thanks to your video, I'm sure I can bang it out no problem. Thanks so much for posting this video.

Thank you for this very informative video! Had an emergency replacement and this was a perfect step by step for that process. Great job! 🤘👍

I'm learning how to do this and it seems really simple. Thank you for giving details such as wrench and bolt sizes.

2 years later and it made me confident enough to do it solo. Extremely easy. Thank you

This video was a tremendous help, can't thank you enough 👍🏾

Thanx Bro, you saved me a lot headaches with this awesome video!!!

Thanks for posting that. It will help me and a lot of other people save money by not buying the whole motor and housing

Awesome video, exactly what I needed, thank you! (And yes, I'll make sure to have a firm grip on my shaft.)

Thanks! I never would have thought to hold the shaft with a wrench like that.

This was a huge help.

Great video...thorough yet to the point.👍🏻 thank you! Much better than the tool box with the video above yours with the horrible background music and no verbal explanation.

You just helped me fix my pump. Works great now. Thank you for posting this and sharing.

Great video, thank you for making this.

Good job dude - that helps a bunch!

Thanks so much. This saved me hundreds of dollars!

Great video. Thanks for the help.

When you said not to get the mechanical seal dirty and then proceeded to drop the mechanical seal. *I felt that bro*

A good video, didn’t see anything stupid which is rare on here.

nice work! very helpful.

Frick'n schweeet! Thanks mate.

Nice job, thanks!

Great Video!!! Thank you.

Just so everyone understands, he'll tell you in 5 minutes... You won't finish the job in five minutes. 😛 Great vid, thanks.

Great help, thanks!

Great video. Thank you.

Thanks much !!

Do you recommend sliding a slinger (P/N SP-12-F) onto the motor shaft?

I understand that the mounting plates have a specific orientation with respect to the pump housing. But, does the motor itself have a specific orientation with respect to the mounting plates? I’m asking because I’m looking into getting a VGREEN motor and I don’t have the room if the controller portion is “on top”. However, if I was able to turn the motor 90 degrees, I could fit it. Thanks for the great video!

Thank u!!

The wiring would it be the same colors from the new pump to the old wiring?

Can you take a pool pump motor and convert to regular electrical use like on a band saw or wood lathe? Thanks

Does the mounting plate to the Wet Head require a gasket?

Nice video, thanks. "keep changing the mechanical seal at the very first sign of a leak" What's the first sign of a leak? I just replaced my motor, and actually brought the seal plate & impeller to the pool store with me, and they still gave me the wrong seal. So, I just went with the original one. Wondering how urgent it is to take it all apart again in a few days.

That’s very helpful. Is the power cord difficult to swap over to a new motor?

Suggestion: Explain how to wire it. I personally know how to do it, but many others may not. Just a thought to make this vid more complete. Good detail otherwise.

....WHAT IS THE PART NAME OF THE V-SHAPED SWITCH THAT PROVIDES POWER TO THE CAPACITOR?

where is the best place to buy new seals , defuser ? is there a package that has everything ? or just youse the old stuff ??? I have never done this before , but I do have a new motor to replace old one ANY HELP YOU CAN BE WOULD BE APPRECIATED !!...THANKS DAVE

Hi, thanks for the video and was interested with the least is better idea! I currently have super pump 1.5HP which tends to overheat and cuts off. As it more than 15 years old I was thinking of replacing the motor and most poll places around specify that with my size of pool 82,000 litres absolutely need 1.5 hp. Any thoughts on this? thanks

I accidentally left the basket out of the pump when I was bypassing the filter and taking the dirt out of the pool when opening. DUH one of those moments. So now it seems the pump is clogged and is only sucking at about half, so the pump is still primed. Is there any easy way to unplug the pump without having to take it all apart and replace the seal, etc. to get it up to full suction or has the dirt and leaves destroyed the seal? I have replaced the seal once many years ago and your video is a good reminder of how it was done. Please advise, thanks.

I have a super pump and the damn case cover (want to try the 7/16th wrench jiggle to fix) is almost fused on, bizarre got the screws out (rusted bent) is not coming off. sprayed with Rust release wd40--will try again, if not I will have to replace the motor... The pool needs to be open!!! great video thanks, I had read the fix before, but happy to see a video on doing it ...(Will just jiggling the shaft work? no need to take off the front and turn impeller?

Do the replacement motors come with the impellers? Thanks

I own an old 1.5HP hayward pump and there is a crack in plastic. My neighbour offered my his 1HP Hayward pump for free and it has the newest basket seal (unlike mine which was a pain in the butt screw on top). I noticed the bolt pattern in the two different motor mounting plates are different. Do you think it's safe to swap the motors? My 1.5 motor works great, but the plastic crack is causing me a lot of air in the line issues.

Just bought a new motor, getting ready to replace it. One question: Do I need to disconnect the entire pump from the system, and does it need to be dry? Or can I replace the pump while the plastic portion is still connected to the pvc pipes? Thanks, great video!

Best explanation i have seeing yet . Some say you have to remove the switch , others say you can remove the capacitor to insert the 7 16 in to block the shaft .Can you tell me aprx how many years is it suppose to run before changing it ?

Did you have to turn off the water to your pool before removing the pump and motor?

Is this new motor a Hayward brand or after market? Wondering if you have to go with factory.. trying to save money

Could not get impeller off any tips

the model number on hayward our pump is scratched off, but it looks similar to yours. I'm concerned of buying the wrong model. So I'm wondering: as long as the horsepower is sufficient will all these motors fit? Or is Hayward strict about model numbers lining up?

Went to spring startup the pool and you know it my pump motor frozen. Oh well the one i had lasted 20yrs. i have Hayward 1.5hp super pump i think it is, the label on mine is barely legible but i can make out the amp's 8.6/9.3 and it says A.O Smith on it thats is all i can make out. What is the part number for the motor in your video and where did u purchase it?

What is the grey V shaped part called? It is located by the Capacitor.

New to pools, so I apologize for the dumb question, but can any motor work or does it need to be a hayward super pump motor?

Any reason why after replacing my motor I’m now getting air bubbles through both my returns?no leaks anywhere from the motor housing or plugs on the pump assembly.

I just changed my pump the new one not come on, I hear a small ham. What is wrong ?

Greetings, Good video on R+R the motor on Hayward super pump. We’re or looking for a replacement motor, should I look for a rebuilt motor or new one ??? Thank you

Shaft in hand. My body is ready.

I watched just to see if shaft threads for impeller are right-hand or left-hand. The video skips right over that in both removal and installation.

hmmm ... there are more screws by the "motor mounting plate" that were already removed in this video when it was said "this will slide right off". In the meantime, it looks like I'll need to remove the screws first.

Part numbers for all seals would help. Current have a mess of my own to contend with.

My impeller is locked how can I get it loose to remove it To change the motor

The 'drop' jump cut (4.:32) skips over which way the spring gizmo goes on & the view is too quick. Link to the "long" version might be helpful... m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o813rcpzurW5ep8.html

The body seal gasket on these sucks
