I finally got enough nerves to change my impeller on my Seadoo 4 tec sc.
Well it took 10 min to drop the pump. I stated disassembling the pump.
Pull off the cone thinking I was going to find jet pump oil, and it was jet pump grease. After about 70 hour of use the grease looked new.
I had to got to auto zone to find an i think numer 12 allen wrench along with the impeller tool to remove impeller.
I mixed some fiberglass up and spread in the wear ring to fill in the gaps.
After it dried. The new impeller (seadoo oem impeller) cut the excess out of wear ring as I put it in.
Put it on the water to test. Taking off out of the hole very fast.
Top end 60 mph. I am very satisfied with the install. It’s been very easy with the right tools.
Purchased impeller on ebay for $99.00 at the end of the summer things seam to go cheap.
If you are a little mechanical you can do this job.
You will need
Impeller tool
#12 allen wrench to remover impeller
allen wrench to remove cone.
Metric sockets to remove bolts
Socket extensions at least 10 inches
Bearing grease
Synthetic grease
Impeller
Medium strength lock tight
The hardest part of this job was getting the impeller out of the wear ring.
I think I could replace the impeller in about a hour from start to finish.
