Wear ring replacement question

[incognito2428]

Hello everyone. It's been a long time since i have posted on this site because I have not been using my boat as much as I would like to these days. In the last 3 years I have had 2 kids and it keeps me pretty busy. It's great to be back!! I read Dr. Honda's awesome Thread on wear ring replacement but I still have a few questions. First i'd like to know exactly what tools I will need for my 09 speedster 150 255hp. I would also like to know if I need a different impeller tool since I have a solas? He mentioned Remove the cooling hose from inside the hull. (and bailer hoses if you have them) They are on the transom, and held on with hose clamps. I can't tell which ones these are in my speedster. Also Remove any cables hooked to the pump. (Steering, Reverse, and VTS. Where are these cable at that need to be removed? Oh and one more thing, How often does the jet pump oil need to be changed? Thanks in advance for your help. Man I really miss here. lol

read a few more threads or manual on pump/impeller removal. 4tec has grease in the nose cone and bearing.
remove the steering, reverse and 4 bolts. tap the pump with rubber mallet and pull to remove pump. impeller tool is in other threads/posts here on this site.

Change pump oil once a season. Like in the spring before you use it for the summer.

Here are two write-ups I did with pics. One with IBR,

And without IBR,

These will show you all the sizes for the wrenches and sockets, but I didn't pull my wear ring s they were in great shape..

Very easy job and no it's the same tool no matter what impeller you have. Done mine at the lake, you just need a way to brace the housing while undoing the impeller.
