Replace the wear rings

The casing and head wear rings (164, 164A), impeller wear rings (142, 144), and spacer
bushing (206) are held in place by a press fit and three setscrews (320).
1. Remove the wear rings:

a) Remove the setscrews.
b) Remove the wear rings from the casing (100), the impeller (101), and the head (184).

Use suitable pry or puller tools to force the rings from the fits.
You can also machine the rings for removal.

CAUTION:
Excessive machining can damage ring fits and render parts unusable.

c) Remove the spacer bushing (206) from the casing spacer (443D).

2. Install the wear rings:

a) Thoroughly clean the wear-ring seats, and make sure that they are smooth and free of

scratches.

b) Heat the new impeller wear rings to 180°F–200°F (132°C–143°C) using a uniform

method for heating, such as an oven, and place them on the impeller (101, 145) wear-
ring seats.

WARNING:
Wear insulated gloves when you handle rings. Rings will be hot and can cause physical injury.
