Stuck pump and motor.

[Sound_Boi]

I currently have a pump that I cannot separate from the motor. Any tips on getting them separated would be appreciated.

Just drive a pair of flathead screwdrivers into the gap between the pump and the motor, one from each side. Maybe take the bolts out first.

My wife said you need to remove the 8 Allen head bolts first then remove the head. LOL!

Yes I have removed the 4 bolts and tried to pry them apart with flat head screw driver and even a pry bar. I am new to this. I have even hung it up by the pump and it still wouldn't come apart.

Try taking out the other 4 bolts, it might come off.

It only has 4 bolts

My 8 year granddaughter looked at the picture and said you need to take out all 8 of the silver bolts with the round heads

I'm assuming that's a hollow shaft motor, it can be very difficult to get them apart. Just force it, it'll go.

That part is the pump head. I am talking about the pump as a whole.
