CAUTION ATTENTION
In next step, ring gear (12), pinion (11) and key (13) will be removed. If ring (12) and pinion (11)
are to be reused, identify them, with a marker or the like, so it can be determined to which
housing they belong (if there is more than one housing in pump) and which direction face of
each gear was positioned in housing. Do not mark with scribe or punch as this may leave a
burr or high spot which could lead to pump damage or seizure. If key (13) is to be reused, mark
it so that it can be assembled into its original stage and facing its original direction.

7. Remove round housing (3), ring gear (12), pinion gear (11) and key (13) from shaft (6). Do not permit dowel pin (37)
to drop as round housing (3) is removed. Remove dowel pin (37) from either round housing (3) or front cover (1)
whichever is applicable.
NOTE: If round gear housing (3) will not slide easily off shaft (6), and this is the last round housing (3) to be removed,
clamp it in a vice with front cover free (1). With a soft headed hammer, tap alternately on mounting ears
of front cover (1) to separate it from round housing (3). When there is sufficient gap between front cover
(1) and round housing (3), insert wedging device. Pry gap intil round housing (3) is free to slide off shaft.
If there are several round housings (3) to remove, clamp pump with a vice with round housings (3) furthest
from driver end free. Position a wedging device between the round (housings). Pry gap until rearmost round
housing (1) is free to slide off shaft (6).
CAUTION ATTENTION
Take care not to damage either faces that are being pried against or 0-ring (41) with prying
device.
CAUTION ATTENTION
If gear housing (3) will not slide off easily because its bushing (53) was siezed on shaft
(6), ball bearing (31) was most likely damaged when housing (3) was pried off and must
be replaced. If gear housing (3) will not slide off easily because its rabbet was jammed
in either front cover (1) counterbore, it single pump, or housing tube (8) if multi-stage pump,
ball bearing (31) may not have to be replaced.
NOTE: If housing (3), ring gear (12) or pinion gear (11) cannot be removed without applying excessive force,
unit should be returned to Imo for further disassembly and inspection.
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 until all round housings (3) are removed.
9. Remove O-ring (41) from front cover (1) if it did not come off with last housing removed.
10. Remove capscrews (42) from seal housing (9), or (70) if "weep hole" design (see assembly drawing "inset").
11. Remove shaft (6) from front cover (1). Removal of shaft also removes seal housing (9), or (70) if "weep hole"
design, outside lip seals (32), where applicable, ball bearing (31), and bearing retaining ring (33).
CAUTION ATTENTION
Be sure that all gear keys (13) are removed before removing shaft (6). If not, the front
cover (1) face will be damaged.
12. Remove seal housing (9), or (70) if "weep hole" design, with lip seals (32), if applicable, from shaft (6).
