I had almost given up on this
head after one worn pulley, one exploded pulley and a few snapped belts.
I just installed the new aluminium pulley kit for the 58500. So far so good. The main bearing on the macerator shaft required a small (75mm) 3 jaw bearing puller to remove it before the new pulley could slide on to the key way. The pulley on the
motor slides off easily, just need small circlip pliers first.
The weakest link is now the belts. I looked all over
Australia for just the gates belts and ended up finding them in
Europe. $5 plus $60 p&h! Ha. So I ordered 15. Local suppliers for the belt kit have been
charging me $125. 😡
Anyway, I now feel I am near enough to a 'professional
jabsco 58500 lite flush repairer'. I might even get some business cards made😜
