the idea was to assemble it around impeller shaft and then clamp it together using more boards, 1 by 3 lumber firing strips.

next i started building the impeller puller out of 5/16 threaded rod that i bought and cut into 12 inch sections. i used fender washers and nuts to anchor it down into it's little "impeller puller tower" this was starting to be fun!

another view after impeller was lifted off shaft about 1/2 inch. i could feel it moving and it made a creaking sound with every turn of the nut! the wood was groaning a bit too! very interesting experience i must say!

here is the lower drain pump housing. seal is pressed into it. the drain impeller is in the background and is the other half of the seal. both look good actually, i wonder if that was where the leak was coming from?

here is the drain impeller a bit beat up looking but actually it's just discolored. it's metal. it will shine right up with a wire brush on the drill

on to the motor all in all not in as bad a shape as i thought. top bearing seems great, very smooth silent rotation. shaft is rusted, that's why impeller was stuck, gonna use my wire brush and drill on it and clean it up good.

the bottom of the motor shaft is kinda roughed up but i can smooth it down using steel wool, wire brush on drill and sand paper. i think if i pack bearing good it will actually run pretty smoothly. but i could be wrong here.

thanks so the best thing for a sleeve bearing is to simnply give it a good dose of 3 in one motor oil? that's what i did i this one. | ||

Lesson on sleeve bearings - thanks! Thanks for the lesson on sleeve bearings tristarcxl - I appreciate it! I have, in the past, used both grease and car motor oil on sleeve bearings on a couple of motors that were on their last legs. I won't be doing that again! Andrew S. | ||
