Current Manifold has developed a crack. How long does it take to install? Remove old old, install new one? How difficult a job is it?

Its not a big deal to change this part, I replaced mine at the same time, as I was cleaning my filter for the winter, After I had removed the filter cover,(the whole top 1/2 of the filter)then you just remove the nut from the center of this part, I reason these parts break in the first place is because, who ever cleaned the filter the last time tightened this bolt to tight, but also if you run the filter to dirty, and do not back wash, the pump will put extra pressure you put on these plastic parts, i hope this helped.

The whole job should take less than 1 hour. The hardest part is setting the grids back in place. I found that it was much easier to turn the manifold upside down and set the grids in. Then lining up the bottom was a piece of cake.

I was trying to clean mine when I cracked the manifold. I'm going to say, since this is your first time. It will take all day, because when you take the filter apart to clean it. It isn't that easy to get back together. The first time I got it back together, it was letting the some of the DE get thru the filter, you could see it coming out the inlets in the pool. So I had to take it apart again and put it back together, that's when I cracked my manifold. Anyway I sent off for the new Hayward manifold and finally got it back together and it works fine. I would suggest that you go on line and watch a Utube video on how to clean your Hayward DE Filter. Good luck, hope this helps. I was trying to clean mine when I cracked the manifold.

When you clean your filter, do you separate the filter segments? If you do, it should not add more than a few minutes to the time it takes to clean the filter normally. I replaced all the filter segments at the same time I replaced the manifold. It took about an hour but that is about what it takes me to disassemble and clean the filter.

I replaced the mounting assembly even though I didn't need to. Either would have worked. I had a new sink with a very old disposal. I am barely qualified to change a light bulb and found the process easy. I used nothing but screwdrivers, pliers, and the wrench that came with the unit as the old plug, gaskets, clamps, and pipes hooked up to the new unit without a problem.

Ours is 10 years old. We cleaned it an repacked it and it is working like new. Someone else suggested replacing a gear and gasket. That sounds like a good plan. Just be careful when you take it apart and don't lose any parts in the old grease. Take the old stuff out carefully.

I used the tool it came with and it took me about 10-15 minutes. If you have a drill with the right fitting (and can find it) it will go much faster....very easy.

I did it awhile back, but it was remarkably easy. Took 5 minutes once I had the unit off the floor and cleaned up. As I recall, you just pull the old one out and install the new one. Water stay's in the bowl for weeks now, instead of minutes before the replacement. Sorry I can't be more specific and detailed. Don't be afraid of tackling it. Anyone can do it.

really easy takes about five minutes and a screw driver .just take note of how you take the old one apart and put the new back the same way.

If you are refering to tabs bolted under the engine that the axel slides into? Suggest remove one wheel assembly and axel. Bend tabs back to straightend position. Measure carefully the space between tabs. Go to local hardware hardware and purchase a piece of pipe that length and diameter to allow axel to slide through (probably 1/2" / and no threads). Re assemble placing pipe between tabs. We love our Poulan and had not encountered this. Now looking at ours we can see it starting to do what yours is. This is what we will do. Thanks for heads up!

That is the most likely problem. The replacement is easy to install.i found a YouTube walk through and it took about 5 minutes.

I've had mine less than a year and am now working on replacing the belt (approx. $35 including shipping) for the second time, which must be done by a technician ($99/visit). We've tried repairing ourselves. It's very hard, even to get the wheel covers off. I'm not pleased at all.

I actually had someone do it for me, but it seemed very easy. It took him about 10 to 15 minutes. The hardest part seemed to take off the middle of the steering wheel. I know I could have done it myself but just included it in the other things I had to have fixed.

I used all the stock components which was not recommended and I have not had any problems. It was a tight fit but you can manipulate the manifold a little to adjust.

I would use this or some other sealant in a case where a replacement part is not available, but otherwise, you could probably pick up a used manifold at a salvage yard for under $50 and do the job the right way. I've learned that in the end, shortcuts rarely save any time or money.

T. And, No, this manifold does NOT come with any bolts. You will have to use your own bolts that were removed from the old one. Gaskets are not needed as the new manifold comes with the molded in type of gasket. (Looks like o-rings, but are injected into the bottom side of the actual manifold. The thermostat does not come with it, allowing you to get the degree you wish. The only piece of advise I would try to convey, would be that, you really need to follow the torque specs very carefully. This is an ABS type of casting and could be easily over-tightened. I had a perfect fit and went as well as any solid metal casting could be. Great buy and value! Regards, Brian

It's really a very easy replacement. It takes about 5 minutes or less. See the you tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ePvpfAkAc. Note; replace the little washer on the top plastic screw as well as the big washer.

The wheel itself, its motor, and its housing all come as one integrated unit. You will remove the old unit and place the new one in. One important caution: The unit has two power leads. One of them has a plastic terminal clip, and it's self evident how it connects. The other is a flat cable. The terminal of the flat cable inserts into a slot and has bare metal exposed on one side and is coated on the other side. When you remove the old unit, be sure to take note of which side is the bare metal side. Otherwise, if you install the new unit with the bare metal to the wrong side of the slot, nothing will work. I know from experience, because I made this mistake and finally had to call a repairman, who went directly to the problem and fixed it in 10 minutes. You may also find that the rubber gasket on the new unit falls off when you try to insert the unit into its location. You may want to try adhering it to the unit with a light coating of rubber cement before installing the unit. The alignment of the unit is crucial, and if the gasket is out of place, the wheel may not line up properly with the light beam that goes to the projector lens.

My pump motor had failed, but I ran into issues trying to remove the motor from the housing. A couple bolts had rusted to the threaded inserts in the housing. Ultimately, I was able to remove the bolts and replaced the inserts (not easy). I was also successful in getting the new motor attached and sealed against the old housing and this lasted for a year, but the pump/housing joint started leaking in the 2nd year, so I ended up replacing the housing with a new one and wished I had done it right the first time...Hope this helps...

Since posting this I had Samsung come out. The repairman said it is a component part within the engine. He said replacing the part would take forever since they are on back order due to so many problems. So he ordered a whole new enging that should be available in a few days. He said this problem will only get worse so I recommend you get the repair person out asap if yours is still under warranty
