Great video on how to replace motor. I think the only thing I would do different is not re-use the pump seal. The OEM says to change it with the motor and they usually wear out. The outer (larger) o-ring is also something to be looked at and replaced if needed. Electrical wires needed to be in conduit or not exposed if code inspection occurs. Perfect video on the how to portion!

One Question... Great video, but when I went to change out my pump, the spring loaded black seal that you mention which has to be dislodged by using the pump cover has two ends that are different. I could not tell which end went on the shaft closer to the pump versus which went further out toward the pump fan. The spring has a flat round end with metal and an inner flat rubber seal. The other end has a round rubber piece that has raised inner edges on both sides and fits into a round groove on the other end of the spring. Which end goes where? (It popped out before I could see which end was which...) Much appreciated.

@JohnCRV Жыл бұрын

We put it back the same way we took it off and hard to remember the difference but we do remember the green dot on the rubber seal facing out. We should have paid more attention to that. Sorry.

Pause the video between 6:05 and 6:06 you can clearly see them screwed back in. Make sure your Quality setting is set at 1080p60 and enlarge if necessary hopefully you have the same color wires, so be careful. If not sure call an electrician.

@JohnCRV 8 ай бұрын

Glad it helped! Did you carefully inspect the seals when you took it apart? they could have been old and just came apart.... If you have a leak between the pump and the motor, the seals are probably damaged. They do sell a seal kit you can get so you wont have to guess which seal is leaking... Be very careful when replacing them and when re-attaching the pump together... Hope that helps.

@@JohnCRV Thank you, yes i went ahead and ordered the O-ring kit. They didn't cost much and for the peace of mind, I might as well. I also went ahead and ordered the impeller and diffuser. The Amazon price was a fraction of what pool equipment suppliers wanted, not to mention the labor costs i'm saving. Again, thank you for your video and clear instructions which gave me the courage to tackle this myself.
