Joel M Colby , KS May 10, 2019 Squealing like rabid pigs. The trickiest part of the tear down process is removing the impeller, particularly without destroying it. I used a pair of over-sized vice grips to clamp onto the impeller near the base to get a good grip on it and work it lose so I could reverse the process without destroying the impeller as the video threatened may be necessary. I wanted to be able to reverse the process if the squealing was caused by something other than the impeller seal. But no, it was indeed the impeller seal responsible for the noise. Replacing it resolved the issue and assembly and disassembly was relatively straight forward. I highly recommend tearing it down all the way to the impeller seal, you may find that other seals are damaged due to normal wear and tear, as was my case. This way you can throw in any additional parts with the same order and replace them at once.
