I decided to get a used pump housing off eBay as the nut holders had broken on my original unit and the wear ring was shot. Found I had about 1/8 clearance between the impeller & wear ring! The wear ring in the used housing looks almost new, very happy about that. Did a test fit with the housing and impeller and the clearances look great.
Was curious if I should replace the double lip seal or bearings since I don't know the condition of the used housing? The bearings look ok, looks like someone put a little grease on them during storage to prevent rust. I'd like to do this job right the first time and order all the parts I need at one time, so was wondering what parts and seals should always be replaced when swapping pump housings? Also do they sell a kit with all the seals or are they all purchased separately?
