Remove cap (5) and insert a screwdriver to prevent the shaft
from turning while unscrewing the impeller (6)(GE motors).
For A.O. Smith motors, remove rear cover and hold the
shaft using a flat wrench inserted from the side, through the
opening in the end housing. Impeller has right-hand thread.
If impeller cannot be turned by hand, insert a flat object into
the impeller vane.

Slip the rotating seal (7) off the shaft and remove the seal
plate (8).
9)
Remove the ceramic seal seat (9) from the seal plate.
Reassembly:
1) Clean all the parts thoroughly before assembling.
2) Lightly lubricate (soapy water) the rubber cap on the ceramic
seal (9) and push it into the seal plate using thumbs only.
Make sure the smooth surface of the ceramic seat faces
outward.
NoTE: If the pump will remain out of service for longer than
one week, the seal components must be installed dry (no
lubrication).
3) Put the seal plate back on the motor.
4) Lubricate the rotating seal (7) with soapy water and slip it onto
the shaft with the 'carbon' ring towards the ceramic seat.
5) Replace the impeller (6) and the diffuser (4).
6)

damaged and is in place.
7)
