Extra hands were needed for safety. I held everything while a friend worked the press. You can't remove the low speed shaft & bearings ahead of time because with the impeller in place the input shaft gear hits a high speed bearing. Once you get the impeller pressed off about 1.5" you can then remove the low speed shaft & bearing assembly... or if I didn't have the extra hands it would probably have dropped.
Murphy would like nothing better than to let something expensive hit the floor if I attempted it on my own.
Update:
The high speed seal appears to be custom-- so says my friend at Motion Industries. I'm going to try a CR double-lipped Viton seal and see how that works because they appear to work for Vortech. If it still leaks then it will be going back to Procharger since I can't procure what seems to be a proprietary seal. Ugh.
Also, the case o-ring is not an AS568 standard size so that also has to be custom. I'm going to have another friend vulcanize/splice together a viton case o-ring for me.
