Pump seal for Hayward super pump?

[goosegunner]

Opened pool today and my pump is leaking between the strainer basket and the motor.

I have the parts schematic and instructions to change the seal assembly.

Any thing else to change while I'm at it?

Impeller?
Difusser & gasket?
Housing gasket?

Any tricks to the process?

Replace housing gasket, diffuser gasket, water slinger and you might as well replace the strainer cover gasket. You do not need to replace the impeller unless it just looks bad (chewed up), front is seperating from the back or your pump has over heated and deformed the impeller. When tightening up the housing screws be careful not to tighten down to much or you will pull out the metal studs in the basket housing.
