Thanks! Mine looked exactly like that except for the base-plate and main-shaft. My base-plate didn't have the threaded puller holes in it, and there was no hole through which I could insert an allen wrench to remove the set-screw. Thankfully mine didn't have a set screw; but it was fused to the rusty engine shaft. To get it off, I used a puller (slide hammer) to remove the bearing off of the end of the pump shaft, then used the small screw that held in the thrust washer, threaded back into the pump shaft, with a slide hammer, to pull the pump off of the engine shaft. Yours appears to be a newer model with those things in mind, but the set-screw seems completely unnecessary. The way mine was designed, it seems like they assumed that once the pump seals went out, they just expected you to throw the whole thing away; which someone kind of did when they donated it to the ARC thrift store, and I bought it for $20. Now, with the pump off and a new $150 set of all new seals going in, I'll have a nice, industrial grade pressure washer for $170. Your video helped me to understand how mine was assembled, even though it was slightly different. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
the bolts were a great idea. Mine came out a little and then snapped with the bolts. We ended up using a saw saw and it actually chopped up the thing relatively easy. Your tips helped though.
Excellent video. I'll be using your info when I take off my pump. The 8mm bolt technique reminds me of a time I had to use a wheel puller. I did not realize the pumps might have 2 threaded holes to accomplish this. Also quite wise of you to put pieces of metal to spread the load on the end of the bolt so as to prevent damage to aluminum motor housing. Thank you!
@@jay94dee91 A new pump of good quality is going to be expensive. But if it's less than a whole new unit, it may be worth it. I have replaced a hand full of pumps, but lately, it's been better just to get a new pressure washer.
Awesome! That damn SET SCREW! You are my Hero! Thank you so much! The 8mm machine screws also did the trick! Both procedures you showed made the operation easy. Very clear and easy for anyone. You have great communication skills thanks for making this video!
You can take a heavy duty ratchet strap and tie it to the pump and ratchet the pressure washer then ratchet the pump and bingo it should snap off from the pressure of the strap being ratcheted

Hmm no set screw and no threaded holes on my Comet pump, still stuck on shaft. Took pump apart and heated the collar around the shaft but still no go.
I once had to use my sawzall to cut the pump into pieces to get it off.
the bolts were a great idea. Mine came out a little and then snapped with the bolts. We ended up using a saw saw and it actually chopped up the thing relatively easy. Your tips helped though.

Very good video thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Well, after about an hour of fussing’ and cussing I found your video.
5 minutes later the old pump was removed. Thank you very much.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Great vid. Bet that set screw holding pump catches many out. Metal plate a must to save damage
Yes, many people are foiled by that little set screw. The metal plate is to protect the aluminum engine block. Thanks for watching.
Cool
Thanks for watching!
