Replacing bearings on Loud MP10

[fdr_dippin]

I have the old bluebox MP10, which looks like this one. It's so loud now I can hear it in the other room or even upstairs from the tank. While the pulses are rhythmic, I don't want to hear it. I read this thread on reefcentral where someone replaced the bearings successfully and it made a dramatic difference.

My MP10 looks different from his however, and i'm wondering if the bearings are the same. Does anyone know if the bearings were different across mp10 versions?

I don't know if the different versions of the MP10 have different bearings, but I would guess if the outside dimensions of the dry side motor are the same across the line, then the bearings are similar. You can always take it apart and measure.

Here is a DIY on bearing replacement on the MP40 I did, but with a bit more detail. Someone here also posted a DIY and used an automotive bearing extractor tool, which looked like a great way to get the bearings off the shaft. Pliers and all just seem to damage the magnet when you try to get the bearings off. I used a small metal press and a couple hand made pieces of metal/wood to do mine.
