i have come to realization that there is absolutely no way to get the hub end off without breaking something.

i got the hudson pump in today. yes it works, BUT you have to change the hubs.

well when i was trying to get the hub off i busted the housing again. this time i supported the housing on the thickest part i could. there is no way to support it on the hub itself. instead of busting the outside ring of the housing it cracked straight through.

well i did manage to salvage the impeller, thankfully. i was abit nervous about that though.

i went ahead and took off the hub from the bearing as the bearing was still good and would make a good spare. i had to wrench down on the press so much that i was just about to give up when BAM it popped the hub loose. i mean i was putting some pressure on that bad boy when it finally let loose.

so in conclusion, there was never any way to salvage that housing with as hard as it was to get that hub off. never in a million years.

so i paid 45 for a cast iron impeller. i'm fine with that. so packardtaximan, i sure could use that pump we talked about.

this time, i plan to just send it to Terrill Machine, with the cast iron impeller...im not breaking another pump housing.

Packardtaximan, let me know, i sure could use the help, but if it is gone i understand and no worries.

thanks,

Hank
