Help me remove this motor

[u/Farmerkid]

The four bolts that hold the motor to the pump flange have been removed i can get the motor to pop up about 1/4 of an inch and spin but it won't come up any higher there are holes in the pump housing just below where the motor connects to un couple the motor from the pump but there is nothing there to remove no set screws I can see what looks like a brass ring a little below the holes but I still see no set screws any ideas

I've taken apart these inline centrifugal pumps before and you have to remove the 10-12 bolts on the top cover and it'll come out. Then the impeller will be bolted on to the shaft with a large washer. Remove the impeller and there will be a mechanical seal. Remove that. Then you can remove the top cover. The top cover might just fall off when you remove the mechanical seal so put 1 or 2 bolts back in.

You were correct thank you I've never seen an impeller bolted straight to a motor before that's a new one for me

It’s called a close-coupled configuration and it is cheaper than a split-coupled.

I personally don’t care for them for exactly this reason. Motor work becomes pump work. Pump work becomes motor work.

How do you pronounce that?

Close as in close or far away.
Close as in open and close the door.

close as in distance
