See the Repair Parts Illustrations, Pages 6, 8 and 10, for
part identification.
1. Disconnect the power to the pump.
2. Remove the base, diffuser, and gasket (DE40PC1 and
DE50PC1) or O-Ring (DSW40P1 through
DSW100M4).
NOTE: Models DE40PC1 and DE50PC1 have the dif-
fuser in one piece with the base. For Models
DSW40P1 through DSW100M4, the diffuser is sepa-
rate from the base.
3. Remove the impeller nut and washer; pull the impeller
off of the shaft.
4. Remove the sand shield and washer from the shaft.

7. Remove the rotor/shaft assembly from the pump body.
8. Carefully tap the shaft out of the seal plate (DE40PC1
and DE50PC1) or pump body (DSW40P1 through
DSW100M4).
9. Remove the stationary half of the mechanical seal from
the seal plate (DE40PC1 and DE50PC1) or pump body
(DSW40P1 through DSW100M4).
10. Slide the lower bearing holder off of the shaft and pop
the oil seal out of the lower bearing holder.
11. Reverse steps 1 through 10 to reassemble the pump.
