5.
Inspect the rear clearance ring, located in the pump housing, for wear
and replace accordingly. See heading “Clearance Rings, Impeller Mea-
surement” on page 85.
6.
To remove the clearance ring, use a hammer and chisel to collapse the
ring in the housing. Do not mar the sealing surfaces of the housing.
WARNING !
BE SURE TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN REMOVING AND/OR INSTALL-
ING FORCE (PRESS) FITTED PARTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS EYE INJURY.
Note: Removing the clearance ring renders it inoperative. It must be replaced.
A usual good practice, if one ring requires replacement the other should be re-
placed as well. Also verify the impeller clearance. (See Figure 6-7: “Clearance
Ring and Impeller ID / OD Measurement,” on page 85.)

grease.

If the clearance rings are removed, use a press to install them back into
the pump and suction heads.
