Nano Wavebox Vibration and Clicking

[illsquaddotcom]

I just received a used Nano Wavebox from the for sale forums. Upon setting it up I found it making a distinct vibration and clicking sound each time the motor pulsed.

I have read up and checked the bearing that sits behind the impeller and the prop. They are both in good shape. I think the issue might be the metal pin that the impeller slides on to. Its still fixed into the motorblock but is loose. It wiggles several mm in all directions. How stiff should it be.

It made some great waves though on my 90g so I really would like to get it repaired or replace the motorblock/base if thats whats needed.

I would send in the pump and see if we can't repair it, I have a hydraulic press and maybe able to repress it in. This pump is $145.37 and the cost would likely negate any savings of buying it used, I also don't have any spares on hand, nano waveboxes and pumps have been backordered.
