@kipcastle The motor turning counter-clockwise contradicts the video which implies it turns clockwise-but this is what I encountered. Again this is looking from the impeller end.
I had a difficult time getting the impeller off. Curiously the motor turns counter-clockwise-the same direction that the impeller screws off. (Thats looking from the impeller end-Seems like that would be asking for trouble.) A strap wrench would have been handy-I ended up using a pipe wrench on the impeller without damaging the impeler-The wrench is used where the impeller ring comes off. Also had a hard time getting the impeller ring off-Used some silicone lubricant that helped get it off.
Thank you!!! Second one I've had to replace. paid for the first and watched the guy do it. Forgot how to do it just remembered it was something i could probably do. watched your video and worked perfectly. Thanks for the details about the old seals staying in place. even after watching your video, it still took me a minute to realize the old seals were stuck in there. Cost me 50 some odd $ for the part this time vs several hundred last time. Bad day turned out to be great! Thanks again!

add me to the list. This is the ANSWER to immobilizing the shaft so you can remove the impeller. Very competent technician.
