Hi all
after an overheating adventure recently, I found my impeller bladeless! And one of the blades lodged in the water inflow T, where it must have been pushed by a remaining blade. Replaced impeller. Started up and had water fast-dripping out the 'drain' hole between the shaft seals. Greased the shaft, and it cut the leaking down to zero - temporarily. I'm assuming I need new shaft seals.
So I got new shaft seals from MM, but they were both the same size. And the image in my service booklet shows them as different - see pic.Its kinda small,but the engine side one is wider dia, and appears to sit on a shoulder cut into the pump body.
So - questions:
1. Did I get the wrong seals for my pump body?
If so what is the part#/description of the pump I have and the right seals (see pic2+3)
2. How do you change the seals? Needs a special tool, no?
thanks!
