hey have a question??? i am in need of pump parts for my WO-65.. seem she is now leaking on the floor. figures right.. the last time i was in there was a few weeks ago to try and tighten up the set secrw because the fan seems to likes to run loose and jingle jangle as it runs, well that didnt go to well i cant get the screw to either tighten or come off even with heat. but since she has run like this for years i was just gonna let it go. but now the pump seal is shot so im gonna have to ruin the impeller to get the screw out to change the seal.. so if i can find a seal and impeller i would be really happy.. anyone out there have any idea where or who to try.. would be awesome and thanks lots...

Even if you busted the impeller off how would that help you in getting the screw out of the end of the motor shaft? I had one that I heated up and the head broke off the screw. I wound up having to drill the screw out, unfortunately on the one I was working on someone had let it leak for a very long time, the rust had destroyed the threads in the end of the motor shaft and also went on up and ate up the lower bearing in the motor. There was no recovering all of the rust damage and I wound up converting it to gravity drain, 2 weeks later it blew the mechanism support, also due to rust. I say all of that to say, exercise caution as it can quickly become a delicate procedure. |

question.. Jon when you say heat it red hot do you really mean red hot? i did try heat and a hammer but not enough heat to the point of making it red hot i was afraid that i would hurt either the motor since the shaft would carry the heat up or melt a part that i didnt want to melt. maybe i didnt heat it enough i can try that again this weekend.
