seal, follow Steps 1 through 11.
Refer to the Parts List section of this manual for part
identification.
1. Disconnect the power to the pump.
2. Remove the base/diffuser. Additionally, remove gasket or
o-ring, depending on model.
Models DE40PC1 and DE50PC1 have the diffuser in
one piece with the base. For Models DSW40P1 through
DSW100M2, the diffuser is separate from the base.
3. Remove the impeller nut and washer. Pull the impeller off of
the shaft.
4. Remove the sand shield and washer from the shaft.
5. Remove the drain plug and drain the oil out of the seal chamber.
6. Remove the rotating half of the mechanical seal from the
pump shaft.
7. Remove the rotor/shaft assembly from the pump body.
8. Carefully tap the shaft out of the seal plate on models
DE40PC1 and DE50PC1 or the pump body on models
DSW40P1 through DSW100M2.

9. Remove the stationary half of the mechanical seal from the
seal plate (DE40PC1 and DE50PC1) or pump body (DSW40P1
through DSW100M2).
10. Slide the lower bearing holder off of the shaft and pop the
oil seal out of the lower bearing holder.
11. Reverse steps 1 through 10 to reassemble the pump. Use 40
