Replacing Booster Pump bearings

[NJ-Bob]

I have a very loud booster pump. From looking over several old messages, the main suspect in these cases is the bearings. However, I couldn't find any messages regarding successful fixes. Can anyone tell me if replacing the bearings is on the same difficulty level as replacing a pump seal? I've done that once successfully for the main pump.

Pretty easy. Go to a bearing supply house of replacement beatings and you’ll likely need a small bearing puller. autozone may have a rental tool you can use for free. Stay away from cheap chinese bearing, especially those with no name etched on them. You want skf, fafnir, toyokogo, etc.

Thanks, Rooterman. I'll give it a go in a few days and report back.
