Looking for help with a Sicce Synchra 5 pump

I would think that you would have to drill a hole in the body of the magnet and through the impeller the diameter of the carbon fiber rod and insert and glue/epoxy it. To get the hole straight you would want to use a drill press.

The shaft is press fit to the magnet. It pulls off with a little force. It's not glued in. If it's broken clean off you might have to drill the old shaft out if you can't get a pliers on it or bush it out from behind

Okay, now we're cooking with propane!

I managed to get the shift out (of course it's still in 2 pieces) but I should be able to get it measured for width, and then get a cf rod to use. Probably won't be able to get to buy one until Saturday, but I'll try and repair the one so I'll have an extra.

Not sure why I couldn't wrap my head around what you were suggesting.

One technique for fitting the shaft into the magnet section if it is a tight fit is to freeze the CF shaft and heat the magnet section and then bring the two pieces together. As the temp equalizes you will get a tight fit.

The rod might be a few hundred thousands smaller. A dab of superglue will solve that problem
