Long time reader, first time poster.
I’m almost done repairing my motor and pump after a bearing replacement. I’m at my wits end because I cannot get the seal plate to mate up close enough to the housing to even get the band clamp threads started. It’s almost like the diffuser is 1/8” proud, preventing the seal plate and diffuser from inserting far enough into the housing. There just the smallest gap between the 2 face preventing me from getting the clamp on there snug. Any ideas?
Here’s a pic with me holding the seal plate so that the gap is even around the circumference.
