Good job I am also a pump shop in Melbourne FL so it's cool to watch somebody else do one even though I've done thousands

There is a trick to remove the impeller which sometimes is the only way it works with the shaft spinning free take a straight screwdriver in between a vein on the impeller and smack it with a hammer if you do it right it'll spinoff first try

Hi Nickolas. Glad this worked for you. It makes sense to me, to be sure that the shaft does not spin free. This way you can apply pressure to the impeller as evenly as possible. These impellers can easily break! .If you were to wedge a screwdriver through the vanes and smack it with a hammer, I wouldn't imagine it would end well. If you are overhauling pumps on a regular basis, I would really recommend the adjustable strap wrench. Definitely worth the investment. Appreciate your comment and good luck.

I BELIEVE THAT MINE IS LEAKING. IS IT LIKELY TO BE THE O RING PLEASE?

@electricmotorrepair2605 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Barry. If leak has just developed, then more likely a worn 5/8" mechanical seal. Can tell by looking if it is coming from behind seal plate or dripping from bottom clamp. Be sure to tap clamp from bottom and around sides as you are tightening back up, otherwise you will think it is tight when it's actually not. Hope this helps. Cheers Clayton

That pump looks 30 years old

Yes, like the dura-glas models, there are still thousands out there working well. Have not uploaded finished result, but later it gets gloss zinced which will help it last for many more years to come. Cheers

One of the best pumps out there I’ve mine lasted 21 years before I decided to go with a VS pump the sta rite max e and dura glass clamp style pumps have been made since the mid 80s I’m pretty sure
