6.8.2 Impeller removal

NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE THE

IMPELLER. TRAPPED OIL OR LUBRICANT MAY
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.

6.8.2.1

Impeller removal with threaded on

impeller
a) Ensure the pump bearing housing is firmly fixed

to the work bench.

b) Fit a chain wrench or bolt a bar to the holes in the

coupling half, or fit a keyed shaft wrench directly
to the shaft. Make sure the wrench or bar can
not slip.

c) Turn the shaft [2100] counter-clockwise as viewed

from the drive end of the shaft with the wrench.

d) Give the shaft a quick turn clockwise to sharply

strike the wrench handle against the work bench
surface or a wooden block. A few sharp strikes
by the handle onto the bench/wooden block will
free the impeller from the shaft.

e) Alternatively, twist the impeller by firmly grabbing

hold of the impeller and twist it counter-clockwise.
To make the wrench handle impact on the work
bench. This method require the use of metal
mesh reinforced gloves.

f) Remove and discard the impeller O-ring [4610.1].

Use a new O-ring for assembly.


6.8.2.2

Impeller removal with key drive impeller

a) Remove impeller nut [2912.1/2912.2] complete with

O-ring [4610.5], which should be discarded. (A new
O-ring will be required for assembly.)

b) Pull impeller [2200] off shaft [2100].
c) Remove impeller key [6700.2].
d) Remove impeller sealing gasket [4590.4] and

discard. (A new sealing gasket will be required for
assembly.)


6.8.3 Cover [1220] and seal [4200]
The seal manufacturer's instructions should be followed
for dismantling and assembly, but the following
guidance should assist with most seal types:
a) Remove shaft guard [7450].
b) Remove the seal gland nuts, if a separate seal

gland is fitted, and slide the seal gland away.

c) Remove the cover nuts [6580.2].
d) Loosen the grub screws (used in most

mechanical seals).

e) Carefully pull off the seal cover and mechanical

seal rotating element(s).

f) Remove the cover [1220].
g) Remove shaft sleeve [2400] (if fitted).
h) On non-cartridge seals the stationary seat

remains in the cover/ seal gland with its sealing
member. Remove only if damaged or worn out.

i)

On pumps fitted with gland packing, the packing
and lantern ring should be removed only if the
packing is to be replaced.


6.8.4 Bearing housing [3200]
a) Pull off the pump half of the coupling and remove

the coupling key.

b) Remove support foot [3134] (if necessary).
c) Remove the pump side liquid deflector [2540.2]

and/or labyrinth seal rotary half (depending on
option fitted).

d) Slacken the nuts [6580.1] and remove bearing

carrier screws [6570.2].

e) Tighten bearing carrier jacking screws [6570.3]

evenly to initiate bearing carrier release.

f)

Remove bearing carrier and shaft assembly from the
bearing housing [3200] by pulling it towards the
coupling end.

g) Remove bearing circlip [6544](or bearing carrier

lock nut [3712.2] if paired angular contact
bearings are fitted).

Bearing carrier lock nuts [3712.2] are

left-hand thread.

h) Remove drive side liquid deflector and/or

labyrinth seal rotary half (depending on option
fitted).

i)

Remove bearing carrier [3240].

j)

Remove pump side bearing [3011].

k) Release the self locking drive side bearing nut

[3712.1] and remove drive side bearing [3013].

When pressing bearings off the shaft,

use force on the inner race only.

6.9 Examination of parts

Used parts must be inspected before

assembly to ensure the pump will subsequently run
properly. In particular, fault diagnosis is essential to
enhance pump and plant reliability.

6.9.1 Casing [1100], cover [1220] and impeller
[2200]
Inspect for excessive wear, pitting, corrosion, erosion
or damage and any sealing surface irregularities.
Replace as necessary.

6.9.2 Shaft and sleeve (if fitted) [2100, 2400]
Replace if grooved or pitted. With the bearing
mounting diameters (or bearing outer) supported by
V-blocks, check that the shaft runouts are within
0.025 mm (0.001 in.) at the coupling end and
0.050 mm (0.002 in.) at the impeller end.
