Cannot open the pump to prime it
I have a super II pump for an inground pool. It was leaking so I replaced the seals. Now I want to start up again but I can't turn the plastic lid to open the volute to prime it. I got a plastic wrench that seems to fit but it wont budge. Any tips on loosening the lid? My Model # is K48M2N123 Ser 8K99. Thanks

Open the air relief on the suction side of the pump, take a big pair of channel locks....22" and give her a good nidge... she'll be alright... good idea at that poihnt to take some lubricant and lube the oring or just replace it...
