REPLACING MECHANICAL SEALS AND 

BEARINGS 
(without removing the upper half of the casing) 
NOTE: 

In order to replace the mechanical seal 

and bearing housing on the coupler end, you 

must 

use a spacer type coupler. 

WARNING: Unexpected Startup Hazard 

Disconnect and lockout power before servicing.  

Failure to follow these instructions could result in 

serious personal injury or death, or property 

damage

.

CAUTION: Extreme Temperature Hazard 

Allow pump temperatures to reach acceptable 

levels before proceeding. Open the drain valve. 

Do not proceed until liquid stops coming out of the 

drain valve. If liquid does not stop flowing from the 

drain valve, isolation valves are not sealing and 

should be repaired before proceeding. After liquid 

stops flowing from drain valve, leave the valve 

open and continue. Remove the drain plug located 

on the bottom of the pump housing. Do not 

reinstall the plug or close the drain valve until 

reassembly is completed. 

Failure to follow these instructions could result in 

moderate personal injury or property damage. 

 

1.  Close valves on suction and discharge sides 

of pump. If no valves have been installed, it 

will be necessary to drain the system. 

2. Remove the coupler guard. For spacer 

coupler, loosen the capscrews which secure 

the coupler flanges to the coupler hubs. 

Remove the coupler flanges and sleeve by 

compressing the flanges and pulling out from 

beneath the hubs or by loosening the Allen set 

screws and sliding the hubs back on the 

shafts. Remove the coupler hubs from the 

pump shaft. For non-spacer couplers, loosen 

set screws and slide flanges back on shafts 

and remove rubber element. 

3.  Remove the capscrews from each of the 

bearing housings and remove the bearing 

housings by placing two 2.0" long full-threaded 

capscrews or Allen set screws in the 

jackscrew holes provided. 

4.  Bend back the lockwasher tab and remove 

both the lockwasher and locknut from the 

outboard end of the shaft (the opposite side of 

the coupling). 

5.  Remove the socket-head capscrews holding 

the gland plates to the stuffing boxes. 

6.  Insert threaded rods into the tapped holes in 

the gland plate and install a fixture on the 

threaded rods to use a puller. See Figure 14 

for Dimensions of Universal Fixture (PN: 

AC2394). Using the puller, tighten the bolt in 

the center of the fixture to remove the bearing 

and gland plate from the shaft. See Figures 15 

and 16. 

CAUTION: Pump Damage Hazard 

Failure to remove the socket-head capscrews 

before trying to pull the bearings off could cause 

damage to the pump. 
Failure to follow these instructions could result in 

moderate personal injury or property damage.

7.  Remove the inboard bearing and gland plate 

in the same manner. 

NOTE: 

The locknut and lockwasher are not used 

on the inboard bearing. 

CAUTION: Do not reuse the ball
