I am in the process of changing the raw water implellors and wanted to ask what the correct “best” way to install the new impeller is. It is a sherwood pump and has 2 plastic clamshell type wear pieces on the inside of the pump that came out with the impeller when I pulled it out. I tried hose clamping the 2 halves together, put the impeller insidenand then tried to insert the whole assembly into the pump but I struggled to get the splines to line up with the shaft as the clamshells where holding it off center. Then I tried to install the impleller on the shaft first and then put the clamshells into the house pump but I couldn’t get the vanes to lay over enough to get them installed. I had to leave the boat to head to a softball game for my daughter so I will try again tomorrow morning. So, What is the best way to do this?
Thanks for the help.
