UPDATE:


So I've been in maintenance mode lately. Both my Vortechs have been making some excess noise for the past couple months. A few days ago one decided to start falling off the glass. I figured it was time to take further action since vinegar soaking wasn't doing the trick. I know a lot of you use EcoTech products but for those who don't, here's a short tutorial about how to repair a sick MP40.


I ordered all the necessary parts which came direct from EcoTech. I ordered enough parts to cover repairing both MP40s, which consists of a Ceramic Wet Bearing, Wet Drive Shaft, Propeller, Washer, Plastic Screw, and Plastic Nut.




I soaked the core wet side components for a day to clean up all the parts in preparation for repair. These parts include the Nozzle, Wet Frame, Wet Frame Cover, and Magnet.




First step is to insert the new Ceramic Wet Bearing into the Wet Frame.






Next is to insert the Wet Drive Shaft into the Ceramic Wet Bearing.








continued...
