Thread: I've got a Crackers type situation

You may find that a press and appropriate tools work a bit better than a hammer.

Does'nt rebuild kit come with shaft, bearings and impellor?
If not, hacksaw thru the old impellor. Smacking with a hammer :-(

Yer only on day two ya wimp. Ya gotta suffer a bit first

A quick search support's Gerokent's thought that you can get repair kits with the impellor, bearing and seal... at a much cheaper price than a complete pump.

From reading the original post, I understand that the impellor has been removed and it is the fan hub that needs to be removed.

yep - drifted out the impellor reasonably easily - its the hub that's going nowhere. The kit doesn't include the hub. I've ordered a hub separately and I've also ordered the whole pump. None of my mates have a press. I've put a press on my list , together with a welder, and a bench drill, engine hoist etc . Possibly I could have used the original spindle & bearing. The hammers the cheapest option at the moment.

You can use a good vice and an assortment of pipes and sockets as a press and press tools. Do it up tight, then give it a swift clout.

My press is just a home made unit, using C channel and a bottle jack.
