Remove A Frames of Pool Vac Ultra

Video Transcript

"We have been disassembling the Pool Vac Ultra and replacing any pieces that have gone bad. We have removed, as you can see, the pods here and the associated things and now we are going to look at the A frame. These two little things move back and forth and back and forth as the turbine spins it has got an offset cam and you can see that right there. As it sets off then it moves back and forth which cause these to move back and forth and that is how it walks. So from time to time after years of use you will find that these bearing separators come out and you can actually lose bearings. Now it is such a hardy machine and the fact that the engine is not inside of here, the engine is actually used by the flow of the pump and it can still move and walk and maybe not the best because as long as the pump is running it is going to try to make it work. We might need to remove these here if we need to replace them. They don't move slowly if they are stuck, then it is time to make them go. By using your power drill here set on a very low torque setting, right in the setting is one screw and then there is the bushing housing at the top here and then what we are going to do is just sort of push it through at a slight angle. It should pop out there. Just push it through and I see that the bottom bearing wants to come out also and we'll take it out and now she'll slide nice and easy. Also these are plastic bushings and they need to come out too. They are part of the associated replacement package. There we go. Now we have got the A frames out of the Pool Vac Ultra."
