I am trying to replace the bearing and seal assy, in the jet star water pump.
I am having a real problem getting the Spring Lock out of the pump. I believe someone replaced the original spring with a wire. There was a little piece of it sticking out of each sides of the inspection hole. I have been soaking it in rust buster and Kroil oil and Blaster for a week. While tapping on the shaft, back and forth, finally got some movement on the wire. Could not pull on it so I was tapping on it figuring it would push around. No luck, I now believe it may have been pushed in from each side. I am open for any suggestions.
Thank you
Jim
