Top Comments of this video!! :3
Thanks for the video. Just had the 1 1/2 hp motor on my Hayward pool pump rust out on the bottom locking it up and need to replace it. The wet end of the pump works fine and just replacing the motor and seals will cost less than half of what a complete unit is going for. The video is a great help to plan what is needed for the job.

Nice video!
I would only add for the DIY and new pool techs to TRIPLE CHECK that the housing gasket is fully seated all the way around. In your case here you have excellent access to see the housing. Mostly we work from the other side of the pump.
A common mistake is closing the housing when the gasket isn't fully seated, usually because a small piece of debris got behind it. That causes the gasket to fold over when tightening the bolts.
Once the pump starts to prime, people see the leak and decide the bolts aren't tight enough.
So they crank down hard on them. This breaks loose the metal inserts molded intro the pump housing, and they will just spin freely. This renders the bolt unable to tighten to the housing.
When this happens, the insert(s) needs to be replaced, and it can be tricky to get the new ones in straight.
I've been working on pool equipment for many years and I've seen this scenario at least a few dozen times.
