I was wondering if there is any quick and easy way to remove / install a new shaft into a 12-JC pump... I have the bowl off, and pressed the impeller off the keyway, but it looks like the whole top half of the pump needs to come out to get to the snap-ring.. is this right?
Also, what is the easiest way to remove the stainless impeller wear ring on the pump housing?
The new bowl, shaft, impeller, ultimate wear ring, etc... will be here tomorrow so i got a head start by disassembling my pump...
