I recently bought 2 Used MP40W. They have the upgraded magnet in them. However, they seem to have the older style Wet Drive Shaft, Ceramic Wet Bearing, and propeller. I am not sure to tell the truth. Looking on the Ecotech site I see the smaller Drive Shaft, and different looking wet bearing, along with the propeller. I will attach a picture if you can tell me base on it.
I placed the pin spacer to 1/4 and put them on tank and turned them on. They need the drive shafts replaced. I can tell this after I took them apart from my problems.
The first one ripped the wet frame apart where the ceramic bearing sits. So I know I need a new wet frame for this one. The other one seemed to squeal when increasing the power, I can't turn it up more then half way.
Now what I want to do is maintenance on them however I don't know the parts I can use. I was thinking to go with
1 Wet Frame
2 Maintenance Kits
However, like I said before I don't know if my old ceramic bearings will work in the new Wet Frame. I also don't know if these new Maintenance kits will work with my complete set up.
If anyone could get back to me on this matter it would be appreciated. I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Also should the magnet and wet frame cover be changed on this? I ask because they look beat up a little.
