You can buy the bearings from our sister website ( owned and operated by us as well ) or you can buy them locally at a Grainger if you have one in town, its up to you :) Here is that link, to the bearings we sell: http://wetheadpumprepair.com/goto/shop/electric-motor-bearings/ Please let me know if you have any questions, Joseph Hi Frank,

I didn't read you post closely enough. I popped the front plate off the motor before I marked it and the housing. Is there any way to backtrack or determine the correct position. I have not pulled the whole mechanism out, but it is about 1" out and I know it has moved a bit and doesn't want to go back in easily. So I knew something wasn't right and I immediately stopped and came to read this again. FYI.. It was a bugger getting the impeller free. The ticket was the strap wrench to hold the impeller, and a LARGE slot screw driver head on an impact wrench. Thanks in advance for your time and insights. Also, where do you suggest buying the bearings from? It's an AO Smith motor. Dang… I didn’t read you post closely enough. I popped the front plate off the motor before I marked it and the housing.

If it is a DE filter have you tried to backwash and clean it out? Also - If you have a "multi-port" change the setting to "recirculate" and see if the pump then pumps, it the pump works on recirculate and not filter then you have a filter clog. Please let me know if you need any additional help or have other questions, Thanks for commenting and stopping by ! Joseph Hi Robert,

We lost suction about a week ago, and traced the air leak to a bad strainer cover gasket, ordered and installed another but still no pump action. With the pump off, the strainer basket fills with water - from the filter - and as soon as the pump is turned on, it pulls all the water out of the strainer, whic indicates to me that the pump itself is operational, but then nothing more. Water in the pool is mid-skimmer. We are a long way from the nearest pool service Co. and they don't want to come our way without a hefty charge just for the transport. Can't blame them too much, what with fuel prices what they are but it doesn't help. Can you?
