Pleiades
This includes the rubber damper and its holder which sit inside the back of the impeller - which is I suspect what you are talking about?
Yes that is what im talking about, i can see where the white plastic holder sits in the impeller head however there is no sign of the rubber damper/seal or where this would sit
ive got the old oil seal and bearing out ok so have a pile of parts and the only two are the mechanical seal and the rubber damper with holder that i cant figure out. i cant see what way the water seal is created between impeller shaft, rubber damper/seal and mechanical seal as none seem to fit size on size and therefore water would pass between the impeller shaft and mechanical seal as theres no rubber and just straight out the drain hole!!
i can understand where the rubber damper holder is but theres no sign of any rubber seal when i took mine apart (its probably been ripped to shreds over time?) but its how you get it all apart as there isnt really any gaps to get things out in the impeller with and what way the rubber sits as there is no signs of any rubbers. Im assuming the rubber faces back towards the mechanical seal.
Heres the bits of have of sorts. from left to right are rubber damper and holder, mechanical seal, impeller shaft and chog, oil seal, oil bearing
from what ive gathered is this the way they should be arranged (sorry cants take the chog off as i dont have circlip removers with me in work!!)
the mechanical seal will get pressed into the main pump housing, then the rubber damper and holder get placed into the impeller head the way below and they just put rubber face to the mechanical seal face and thats where the water seal forms?
