| To remove old wear ring: Use a propane torch. Place the flame on the brass ring go around in a circular motion until the insulator starts to melt. Grab the ring with a bent over screwdriver (90deg.) and pull out. Clean up wear ring bore. Installation: Place wear ring in freezer for four hours. Place insulator in suction bore. Spray with WD-40. Start wear ring by hand. Tap wear ring in using a wooden block and a mallet. You may use an old impeller but it may bottom out on the shaft before seating the ring. Important: Wear ring must be seated square in the bore with-in 0.004” side to side. The axial clearance between the impeller and the impeller shoulder must be 0.025”-0.035” (check several places around the wear ring). Check again after the impeller nut has been tightened. Use red loctite on aluminum nut. Use Zinc anti-seize on steel lock nut. Torque impeller nut to 150 ft/lbs. Torque bowl bolts to 50 ft/lbs. |
