Hello everyone. Another new person to the forum. I have read through the very thorough steps and images posted by CoastieJoe for removing the pump and iBS system for greasing the impeller drive. Would anyone be willing to direct me to any previous forum discussions concerning repairing stripped spline drive at the impeller? At this stage I am very much hoping this is the issue and not PTO, as the workshop I currently have it at, alludes to it being the spline at the impeller end. I have the jetski in the Seadoo repairers at the moment and hoping they can get it to the stage of full disassembly (including oil drain hopefully) for me to be able to install non-genuine, rated as meeting or exceeding OEM specs, parts etc and saving some money on parts costs and labour. They have pulled out the pump and have managed to undo the impeller.
I am led to believe that the 2010 155 driveshaft was flawed and that Seadoo have also returned to using their previous design. The machine, while 8 years old has done under 100 hrs, with the 50 hourly done 20 months ago. Essentially a salt water life, but washed and flushed after use. I am a second owner. Anyone willing to throw me a bone with some tricks for young players, direct me to previous discussions - or just advising to leave it to the workshop and pay the bill,...would be appreciated.
I have the downloaded repair manual and while I am confident of my mechanical skills, I lack all of the specialist tools at this stage; plus have never ventured into this prior.

PS. Symptoms leading to this conclusion was loss of drive power on the water, with a metal squeal, almost grinding noise coming from below the deck. Out of the water and during the flush, the shaft and impeller spun as one.
