& are the trreads right or left hand on the shaft nut. This is a Jacuzzi
agnum force 1 hp. motor
SOURCE: Getting to impellre
the impeller is what is holding it in on the end of motor is the impellel the impeller is in a houseing right off motor that is held togethere by screws you should disconect power then power for motor then remove water in/outtake there may be some kind of strap holding it down
SOURCE: water works spa pump- need to remove wet end...
Most of these are reverse threaded. There should be a place on the shaft that is flat on 2 sides a 1/2" or 9/16" wrench will fit into the slots. If not look at the back for a place to use a hex key. Hold the wrench/ hex key stationary with the Impeller facing you turn clockwise.
I know this sounds backwards but it should work.
Hope this helps
Please leave feed back
Removing the impeller requires you lock the shaft as you turn the impeller off counter-clockwise. To lock the impeller you will have to remove the motor end cover or a cap covering the shaft end depending on which version your particular motor has. Look at the end opposite the pump and imagine a shaft from one end to the other right in the center.
Yes, the seal has been leaking and it needs to be replaced; probably the motor bearings too.
Once you remove the cover you will see a slot for a screwdriver, a flat for a wrench, a hex hole for a hex key or some combination of these. Lock the shaft and spin off the impeller. Some are so tight you will end up breaking them in the process. Simply replace it and the seal. Be sure the motor shaft is in good enough condition to allow the new seal to work properly. If too much shaft material has rotted away the new seal will leak soon after it is installed; you would need a new motor at that point.

Look at the threads from the end of the shaft. If the threads "spiral down" as you go around the shaft in a clockwise direction, the threads are right hand. (If the threads "spiral up" thery are left hand).
Can you see the threads well enough to do this?
