1 Using a medium screw driver and bench grinder create a tool similar to the one picture below. The orange lines show the screw driver shape before grinding.
2 Using a hammer gently tap the screw driver between the rubber part of the seal and the pump drive shaft. Care must be used to avoid damaging the main pump Aluminum Housing. (Picture A)
3 Gently push the screw driver down thus prying up on the seal. If the seal appears to be to be bending instead of pulling out you may need to tap it slightly again or move the screw driver to a new position and try from there. You may have to pry from several sides before the seal will be removed (Picture B)
4 With some luck you will have the results found in (Picture C)
5 Clean seal area. Lubricate both inside and outside areas of the new seal. Using the hammer gently tap the seal in with a perfect sized deep well socket. Seal needs to be kept level as it enters the pump.(Picture D). New seal (rubber coated) may be taller that the older seal so the seal will be flush with the pump housing once installed.
