I noticed my Pentair boost-rite vacuum pump leaking. I'm trying to replace the O-rings and Pump seals but I'm stuck on how to take the unit apart and get to the pump seal. I don't see any YouTube or google instructions on this model. Any help would be appreciated on getting to the pump seal. I have attached pictures of my current progress on disassembly and the schematics I have. Thank you.

That's a weird model with 5 impellers.
I'm not sure how to get the discs off.
Will they just pull straight off?

No, they don't pull off. The smaller middle disc turn the fan on the back of the unit. I don't want to force pull them off and end up breaking them. I tried twisting them off while holding the fan steady but that seems impossible.
It looks like they are pressed on.
They might be glued on.
Sorry, but I don't know how to take it apart.

I figured it out. For anyone who looks at this In the future with the same issue I’m having. You just have to pull each disk out individually. They are hard to pull out so be careful you don’t break them.
