    Here’s a series of sequential photos I took when replacing the lower seal on one of my motors. The c-clip, carbon seal, spring and washers were all in good shape but I did install a new O-ring inside the carbon seal. No problem to remove or replace, just need to handle the carbon seal very carefully and need to hold downward pressure on the spring when removing and installing so it doesn’t go flying across the shop.
