Simple Yes or No.

Is it possible to change the wear ring without removing the impeller?

Nope :cheers::cheers:

Looks like next season then.

Not much left in this one.

You could easily do it one afternoon if you already have the parts.

Yes.

The hardest part is getting it out. If you can cut out the wear ring without damaging the impeller or the outer shell, it is straightforward. It took me appx 1 hour to remove and replace wear ring. It is fairly deep (for cutting tools). Of course the assembly has to come off ski.

for cutting wear ring by hand i used a long coarse sawzall blade for wood. gotta wrap the teeth in a rag where you are holding it. but since you have to cut at an angle to get between the impeller blades, i don't think this'll work very well. the impeller removal tool is 10 to 15 bucks. then i stuck a pipe wrench in a piece of pipe to hold impeller shaft.

I had it out today.

I think I'm gonna call it a season. I don't think I'm going to Have any more 80 degree days in Columbus Ohio. I'm looking forward to getting My $400 e-bay special up to showroom condition. There's not much to do.
