Okay for anyone interested in fixing up these little suckers
they do just pull apart very easily once you know how.
(a lot easier than me learning how to put the bloody photos up)
Once secured in a vice the J bend water inlet can be wriggled out of
the body exposing the impeller and after drilling out the rivets a centre
punch will knock the motor free.
In the back of the body will be the rubber seal secured by a brass retainer.
These just knock out. (Brad has kindly put up great pictures and dimensions
of the seal that is the trouble-maker for leaks.)
I went with another tack with this one, by coating the surface of the motor shaft
to increase it's thickness with some KBS paint (known for it's durability and
self leveling) it closed up the seal. I will try and find a replacement seal for another
pump l have and will let everyone know if l do.
Bit of Vas here and there and a couple of new rivets (no thanks to rodomo) and
and she just all pushes back together.
