Remove the rotating element

* 164A for 4x6-10 and 4x6-11 pumps. 165B for all other pump sizes.

1. Loosen and remove the casing nuts (425) and taper pins.
2. Use the jacking bolts (provided with the pump) to loosen the upper half from the lower half

of the casing (100).

WARNING:
Never use heat to disassemble the pump due to the risk of an explosion from trapped liquid.

3. Insert eyebolts (not supplied) in the pre-drilled threaded holes in the perimeter of the upper

half of the casing. Remove the upper half to the work area.

WARNING:
Use the eyebolts to lift only the upper half of the casing. They will not support the weight of the entire
pump.
