Hey Guys,
My KD-10 was leaking water out of the pump seals and the water ran into the motor. There was lots of smoke and your could smell an electric burning. The motor is no longer working so I believe the motor is burned up. What are my options? Can any one repair and rebuild these motors, I would also need new pump seals to stop the leaking. Where do I start? I have the Service Manual and I am going to take the motor out and take a look. It does not look that hard to remove. Thanks for the help! Joe | ||

Hold On, Joe!
What stevet is telling you is that she can be saved.
You can't get a new motor, but the one that failed can be repaired like new. Don't despair! If you have the motor rebuilt, you'll probably get much better service out of the machine than you would have otherwise, so this is actually a plus if you look at it the right way. | ||

I am glad this thread has started
Because I have a KD-10as well that has been half-way disassembled for about 6 months now. My pump seal was leaking so I was going to just disassemble the motor and pump assembly and fabricate a new seal. The problem I have run in to is removing the impeller from the drive shaft so I can pull the motor off. Any suggestions?

Glad That You're Encouraged....
I know it must have been extremely disheartening to see a failure that soon after you went through so much to buy it and install it.
However, since your daily driver car is a Packard, I consider you an ideal candidate for the learning curve that will come with fixing this problem. You have a lot of skills you can apply to this - there will be a lot of questions, but I have an idea you'll often find that the answers are already inside you. God, I sound like Yoda. :) | ||

Impeller
As far as getting the impeller off, spray some PB Blaster on the shaft so it can soak thru between the shaft and impeller and then try to pry it off by placing 2 screwdrivers between the housing and impeller and pry it up. It may take a few tries but should come off. If you have a small enough puller, you can try that too. Just don't wail away on it as it can bend.
A faucet handle puller or battery terminal puller may just work too. Maybe try putting the puller on and tightening it and then the screwdrivers. Or since the seal leaks anyway, use a bernz-o-matic and heat the brass up and see if you can dislodge it that way. When you put it back on, use anti seize on the shaft and the next time should be easier. Let me know how it works Steve | ||
