Servicing an IWAKI pump - SFL

[Simply__J]

Does anyone know where I can get an Iwaki MD 30RXT 115NL serviced in South Florida (Miami and/or Kendall)? It's making that horrible screeching sound which I'm pretty sure it's the motor bearings. Is this something I can fix myself?

First thing I would try is to take off the black rear cover. There's a "fan" in there. I have see. Things get stuck in there and make noise.

Thanks kschweer any suggestions on how to take that off?

Try Rice pumps in Miami. They used to service a bunch of dolphin pumps for me in the past. Don't have their info on my at the moment

It won't come apart even with all the screws removed.

Grabloids that worked great, thanks! took a little more then a "tap" I hope I didn't mess anything up. Now I have to see how to remove the bearings and get them replaced any suggestions.

Update: I purchased a gear/bearing puller from Northern Tools, got them off. As far as pressing them on...I hammered them on with a piece of spare wood in between the hammer and the bearing (I hope I didn't mess them up). Btw the bearing cost me $8 for both. I lubed it up and put it all together and SHAZAM it works it not whisper quiet but it works which I'm very grateful for. Thanks a bunch for your help! The forum comes through again. I officially started my cycle here goes.
