Do I need a new SP2610-C impeller?

[JasonParker]

I’m replacing my shaft seal again, this time with the nice US Seal PS-3868.

Though now that I have the impeller removed, maybe the culprit is a worn impeller shaft. Here are some pictures. The black ABS pedestal nearest the shaft seems worn. Especially compared to pictures of a new one! Replace it?

It does appear to be lopsided now. I would be inclined to replace. @JamesW thoughts?

I would replace it.

You can try polishing it up to see if it can be cleaned up, but it it's warped or defective, it should be replaced.

Overheated seal (run-dry) melted the impeller. Replace it.
