Ok, I pulled my water impeller out of my 8/92 and placed a new one in. everything went fine except the impeller sticks out past the housing approximately a 32nd of an inch.
I've beat this sucker with rubber mallets and then switched to a wood block to get more force with a real hammer. not budging! Could grease from the spline be keeping it from seating further in? I put the cover plate back on a drew it tight without a gasket hoping this would draw it in. The plate was metal against metal when in place. This is my 1st time changing a DD impeller and was wondering if this is normal, with the cover plate in place with a gasket and rubber seal gasket would the clearance be acceptable?
Thanks much,
Jim
