We always start at the electric motor. It is usually the last to be installed so it should be the first out. Once it is out, you'll have a small space for things you cut out to fall into, making it easier to remove. I use a sawsall and cutting torch. Keep a fire extinguisher handy though. I've gutted hundreds of pumps this way and never had a fire? Just do you work outside to be safe. You'll find that the torch will help you gut the pump in under 30 minutes. Good luck, Paul www.severngaspumps.com
