    Wheel removal

    Need to replace shaft seal in leaking helm pump (H21S), and stalled almost immediately trying to remove the wheel to drop the pump. The key moved freely, and the wheel moved about 3/16” on the shaft, but now won’t budge. Thought I would check here that I haven’t missed some secret pin or set screw before I go get a bigger persuader. TIA

    Put a little lubricant on the shaft and let it sit for a bit. You’ve done everything correct so far.

    However, make sure that somebody is holding the pump from underneath when you finally take off the wheel, because it could drop like a rock.

    Thanks - I’ve got the pump strung up with zip ties. Hopefully by tomorrow the penetrant will have done its thing.

    I had to use a puller the first time I took mine off, 9 or 10 years ago. Did it again last year and it slid right off no problem. '79 43C.
