Trying to replace impeller as the motor runs hot. The old impeller looks shot, hard and has quite a set to the fins.
Everything is apart except I can't figure out how to get the drive shaft to release from the motor. does it go straight through the motor to the flywheel nut?
Any how I can't see how to replace the pump w/new impeller without dropping the drive shaft..
Thanks for any input
