Tip Corner:

If you choose to replace your drive seal without disassembling the pump completely, here are a few tips:

1. Using a medium screwdriver and a bench grinder, create a tool similar to the one shown in the included picture. The orange lines show the shape of the screwdriver before grinding.
2. Using a hammer, gently tap the screwdriver between the rubber part of the seal and the pump drive shaft. Be careful to avoid damaging the main pump’s aluminum housing (Picture A).
3. Gently push the screwdriver down, prying up on the seal. If the seal appears to be bending instead of coming out, you may need to tap it again or move the screwdriver to a new position and try again. You may need to pry from several sides before the seal will come out (Picture B).
4. With some luck, you will have the results shown in Picture C.
5. Clean the seal area and lubricate both the inside and outside areas of the new seal. Using the hammer, gently tap the seal in with a perfectly sized deep well socket. Keep the seal level as it enters the pump (Picture D). The new seal (rubber coated) may be taller than the old seal, so it will be flush with the pump housing once it is installed.”
