Need to remove the impeller - AO Smith Pool Pump Motor Hayward Swimming Pool Pump Full Rated Motor / Cen

The instruction below may vary slightly for your model pump, but should give you the info you need to get the impeller off and get to the seal... To remove the impeller you need to lock the motor and unscrew impeller. Depending on the motor, you remove a cap in the middle of the tailpiece and hold with a wrench, or remove a cap that covers the whole end and grab the shaft with a wrench (usually 7/16") by sliding it under the thermal overload switch and then turning impeller. If the impeller has a bolt or screw in the middle remove that first. It should be reverse thread so make sure you don't turn the wrong way and break or strip. If there is no screw, or after you've removed it, just spin the impeller off (it should be counter clockwise standard thread). If you can't do it by hand and assuming you don't have an impeller wrench, be very careful and use a large pliers, pipe wrench, or strap wrench to loosen it. After that you unbolt the motor from the seal plate, pull the seal plate away from motor (this removes half the seal), and then pop the other half of the seal from the seal plate. Hope this helps. If you need further assistance post a reply in the comments, and don't hesitate to leave a good thumb rating if you found this helpful. Thanks, and good Luck!

You do not supply much information, but yes, the impeller sits right inside a pump housing, Split the housing and the impeller is the vaned part that is attached to the shaft, the pump rear casing will have remained behind. The should be a nut holding the impeller in place and it may very well be a left hand threaded nut. Remove the nut and the impeller will come off with a little coaxing. Some impellers are press fitted and may need a puller to remove.

There is a lock ring on inside of impeller inside cover you need to remove that lock ring in order to remove impeller.By just removing little cover exposing water impeller will not let you remove impeller.you need to remove the whole side case to get to lock ring.On most bikes you have to drain oil,coolant and remove case cover.If you google this,it will give you exact instuctions or possibly a you tube vidieo.A picture is worth a thousand words.Good luck....

removing the Impeller, is actually not that bad. You say it's rusted on but I have to ask why you think it's "rusted". I have to assume it's just on real tight and you just assumed it's rusted. If your removing the impeller I have to assume either you need to place the shaft seal, the motor, or the impeller itself is bad and your replacing it. Either way the procedure is pretty much the same. To remove the impeller you need to lock the motor and unscrew impeller. Depending on the motor, you remove have a cap in the middle of the tail piece and hold with a wrench, usually 9/16", or remove a cap that covers the whole end and grab the shaft with a wrench (usually 7/16") by sliding it under one of the components and then turning impeller. If the impeller has a bolt or screw in the middle remove that first. It should be reverse thread so make sure you don't turn the wrong way and break or strip. If there is no screw, or after you've removed it, just spin the impeller off (it should be counter clockwise standard thread). If you can't do it by hand and assuming you don't have an impeller wrench, be very careful and use a large pliers, pipe wrench, or strap wrench to loosen it. After that you can unbolt the motor from the seal plate. If the Impeller is corroded, or rusted as you say and it's really hard to remove, you just have to man handle it. If the impeller breaks or the brass insert strips out, you'll have to cut it away till you get to the shaft and can use channel locks, locking pliers etc to remove the insert however necessary. It is rare for this to happen, but it can happen. Impellers can break, fail, or strip out like anything else.

Disconnect all power. Remove the six bolts holding the seal plate to the wet end. Remove the two small allen screws to remove the diffuser. Remove the dust cap from the end of the motor and secure the shaft from moving. If installed, remove the Phillips head screw in the center of the impeller by turning clockwise (left hand threads). You can now remove the impeller by turning counter clockwise, note that you may need an impeller wrench to remove it and a specific tool to hold the shaft while you remove the impeller. Once the impeller is off you can remove the four bolts that hold the motor to the seal plate. This process just needs to be reversed to re-install but you will need a new shaft seal (PS-1000).

Most likey righty loosey lefty tighty.

First you want to remove the water pump cover, under that you will see the impeller and it should have a 6mm bolt, (10mm head), that you will need to remove. Remove the bolt and then the impeller will lift off a "D" shaped shaft. Note that there will be a copper washer under the bolt securing the impeller, you should replace that every time you remove the impeller bolt because it prevents water from leaking through the shaft into the crankcase.

I removed the impeller on my DW761UQB. The instructions were molded into the plastic pump housing. This is how I DID MINE: Remove motor mount screws. Remove the chopper screw (screw only goes into impeller, not motor shaft). Remove chopper and rotate/remove strainer. Place socket or wrench on impeller tip and place another wrench on rear of motor's plastic fan. Unscrew fan from impeller shaft ( threads are LEFT handed, turn CW). Once fan is 'backed off' of the impeller, CAREFULLY pry the motor/fan from pump housing (impeller is attached to motor shaft via splines). Don't crack the delicate plastic pump housing. Mine was stuck, but separated with moderate force. Now remove the impeller/seals from the pump housing. This worked for MY above mentioned model, I don't know what other models it applies to. I am not a pro.

i will but need your email address
