Any suggestions for a Pentair Meteor pump...

[YenkoDeuce]

I was changing the sand in my Meteor above ground pump. After I was finished my father went to put the valve back on and couldn't get it to sit right. Long story short, the pipe that connects the laterals to the valve came out. Does anyone know if it is possible to lift the middle assembly out so i can clean it and silicone the pipe back in before replacing it and refilling with sand. Any help would be much appreciated . Thanks.

As in, came out of the lateral hub? If you mean, can that be fixed without pulling out all the sand, the answer is No! Here's the manual:
