Pull the pump, remove the front cover to gain access to impeller. You somehow have to hold the motor shaft from spinning, The rear of the motor should have a cap covering the the motor shaft. The shaft should have a slot in it to hold with a big screwdriver. While holding the shaft try to unscrew the impeller. This looks like a waterways pump which is a real pain to remove impellers. If the pump does not run quiet the front bearing is rusting and then I would replace the entire pump with the same horsepower and voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt seem to loud but i really dont know how loud it shold be Seal are available from any pool spa store or online. If the pumps run without a screeching sound, the motor should ok. Prices for pumps range a great deal starting around $279.00. If you want to go that way make sure it is replaced with same horsepower and voltage. Also pipe connection 1.5 or 2 inch. From the pic It looked like a Waterways, without a better pic I am not sure, but the seal would be a ps1000 or as1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
