When I rebuilt my pump last summer, I got given to me an impeller tool that I used to take off and replace my Polaris impeller. No problems, worked like a charm.
Now, I buy a new Solas Concord impeller, PA-CD-12/18. I took the pump off, removed the old impeller with the tool I had. I tried to put the new Solas on, and !#$, the tool doesn't fit. However, when I test-fit the impeller in the wear ring area, it fits like a charm in the hole and onto the driveshaft.
What's up here? Does the Solas take a different impeller tool, even though theoretically the splines should be exactly the same since it's the same polaris driveshaft? I want to torque the new Solas properly, not just screw it on and guess at how tight it is (I don't operate that way).
Puzzled. Thanks in advance for responses.
