Hi there, I know this has been covered before however I am going to ask the question again. I know that this model did not have the mechanical seal but originally came with 2 thin seals. The new kit that I ordered included a thin seal and a thick seal (with a spring inside). I have replaced the bearing and installed the thick seal first, then the thin one on top of it (curved bit facing in), meeting the bottom of the impeller. The thin seal now slightly protrudes from the metal surface and when I insert the metal brass washed before installing the impeller, it is quite stiff. Question is was i correct in including both the thick and thin seals in the first place ?

I am also left with a '1cm long metal collar' which will not fit back onto the impeller shaft, where i think it originally came off from. By using the thick seal did this remove the need for the collar used with the thinner seals ?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to kdxrider.net.

I don't remember any collar used with the two seal setup and the parts fiche doesn't show one either. Take a look at the parts fiche for how everything goes together. Make sure you get the thick seal fully seated before installing the thinner one.
