Impeller removal tools

[Endeavourquay]

I need to source a small impeller removal tool, the Jabsco one is too wide to fit into the housing, can anyone recomend any please?

Do you want to keep the impellor or change it for a new one?

2 x screwdriver

Always just used a pair of needle-nose pliers .... and as you pull just turn it in the intended direction of rotation - pops straight out ...

If you really want impeller removal tool then get a pair of needle nose pliers with long reach and bend the ends! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Its for a customer, I dont sell them so I introduced him to this site, in the hope that he will get the advice he needs. Thank you all in anticipation.

I only ever take mine out to replace it. I have a pair of long nose vise grips (posh mole grips /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif), Then you can concentrate your effort on the pulling. I often find they don't come out so easily, but then the next time it will.

I agree, if you're going to pull it out you may as well put in a new one.

Using screwdrivers damages the edges of the pump body.
Jabsco make three pullers. Are you sure non of them will fit?

None of the pullers I've found fit my access so I use long nosed pliers and swear a lot. I fitted a Speedseal yesterday which should make the process a whole lot easier. With the seal they supply some silicon lubricant to grease everything including the new impeller and shaft. I'll find out if that makes removal easier next time - but hopefully not for a year yet

Apologies if you knew this but they sell either 2 or 3 different size imp. removal tools. Possible you have one of the larger ones /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
