Hi All,
I thought I give some feedback on the overall fix here. I did not take pictures because it was late at night. Anyway this seems much easier than it actually is.
1. The seal I bought came from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F1 ... UTF8&psc=1. I suggest getting this one compared to the black ones that are more flexible because it will make your life that much easier during the install.
2. You need silicon grease and lost of it. Use it to hold the seal in place. The problem is that the seal is designed to be a little smaller than the actual size it needs to be for fit purposes and the silicon grease really helps in hold it in place.
3. Start from the bottom and go up. At the top the seal may not seat very well in its designated spot but it will be fine when you tighten things.
4. Put the 6 bolts back together. Make sure you get some help here from someone to hold the motor while you put the bolts together.
5. This is the most important part. Before tightening when there is a gap check to make sure the seal has not moved and is sitting where it needs to be. The start in a clock wise or counter clock wise fashion and tighten the screws. Always tighten the bottom ones first.
6. During this the above process you can use a knife or very small screwdriver to relocate the seal to where it needs to be.
7. tighten everything up and start the pump. Make sure you put some water in the pump basket at the front of the pump first it will help with the process.
8. Check for leaks. If there is a big leak turn everything off immediately and open up the bolts. Now here you do not need to open the whole pump up. You can loosen the bolts enough to create a gap and then use the knife again to readjust the location of the seal. make sure to use plenty of the silicon grease. This stuff is sold at Home depot or Lowes. Tighten again.
9. Try again and hopefully your pump does not leak. If it does then make a note of the location of the leak and go back and try to repeat steps 7 and 8. It will eventually come together.
10. You are hopefully done.
I did this job alone so I had to repeat steps 7,8, and 9 3-4 times since when I was placing the motors on the pump I was moving the seal. If you have help one person can hold the pump while the other one installs and tightens the bolts.
GOOD LUCK.
Chris.
