Reeflow Pump Bearing Replacement
 
Has anyone here ever replaced the bearings in their reeflow pumps? Mine are starting to get noisy so i want to change them before they fail, because Murphy says they will fail on a long weekend or when I am away. I am hoping someone knows the size of the bearings so I can pre order them. I dont really want to have to shut my sump and skimmers down for a couple of days to do this if I dont have to. Or if someone near me has a spare pump i could borrow for a few days....

I replaced mine on my barracuda. Really easy to do. It comes with instructions. Glad I did as well, the inside of the seal was rusted out.

seals no problem on my Darts and Barracuda but bearings on the Dart's Hubbell motor little more difficult as case isn't bolted together but need to bend metal tabs (aligning a pain putting together). For sourcing the bearings just went to BC Bearing with make/model but sure could get through any big bearing house (Commercial Bearing another place).
