[QUOTE="Wild Horses, post: 1410926, member: 19251"] I got it all apart with the high speed bearings removed. Wasn't bad at all. I did slice my hands on the gears in a few places without even knowing though. Haha. Input shaft bearings were fine. I'm pretty sure this unit has been rebuilt already. Everything except the impeller shaft seal and the front impeller bearing look brand new. If it hasn't been rebuilt I am very surprised how well these things hold up. Impeller seal had a tiny piece missing on both lips so I did find the actual cause of the leak which is great. I'm guessing the front impeller bearing being bad had something to do with the seal failing. Parts will be in tomorrow. I'll post pics when done. [/QUOTE]
