You've got to take out the six or eight little screws to get to the motor assembly. You'll see a little O ring in there. When I took mine apart, I saw the O ring, and it was old, but it wasn't dried out.
Are you sure it's an RLXT? And not just an RLT? Heres the schematic for those pumps.

Either way, check this site out to read about your new pump. I printed off the schematics and also the general info about my pump when I purchased. (Since they're used, you probably didn't get any paperwork?)

I love the marineand reef site. They have so many good tutorials about all the equipment. I read this site front to back (so to speak!) when I was first learning about SW care.[/QUOTE]
Thanks, I'm sure it is RLXT based on the plate on the pump. The X means it is a high pressure impeller. I took it apart and cleaned it now I need to put it back together and connect it back up.
