I finally got my old impeller off, last night, but it seems I may have lost my impeller key. Im wondering whether anyone can tell me what too look for as I scour the shop floor.<br /><br />The shaft has a notch cut out of it, about 1/2 in lon and maybe 1/8" deep, like a half moon. The impeller has a half-round notch cut into it, running parallel to the shaft. <br /><br />I found a pin taht fits into the channel in the impeller but i cannot find any half-moon shaped piece. <br /><br />My manual, I believe, refers to an "impeller pin" and makes no mention of an "impeller key". If I put the pin in place, it holds the impeller in place, but the impeller has play, back and forth.<br /><br />Should there be another piece to hold the impeller in place, or is the pin all that this impeller is supposed to have?

"Should there be another piece to hold the impeller in place, or is the pin all that this impeller is supposed to have?"<br /><br />Nope, what you have it all to there is to it. The 'impeller pin' resembles a solid roll pin or needle bearing pin. This roll pin fits into the impellor half-round notch. The extra back and forth play is normal. Since the impeller is turning only one way while driven , it's not a problem.
