NO, they are throw-away. There are no bearings or anything inside, just worn plastic.

Some Rule pumps have removable motor housings. But they cost about as much as a whole pump. I have a dual inlet rule and kept a spare motor on board, but I am getting way more than one season out of them. Mine is also been discontinued, so once I go through that last motor replacement, on to something else.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
