Tunze 6060 loud

[Andrew]

My 6060 stream has been getting pretty loud... so I took it out to clean it but it's still loud. The impeller seems to be pretty loose and not tight like it should be. Any idea?

What do you mean by loose? The shaft wobbles? Are both brake shoes intact?

Yea, the shaft wobbles like it's not tight anymore. Both break shoes are there.

Any chance you can post a pic, if we can figure out the bad part I will send you the parts you need.

I just want to get it fixed so I can sell it to get some money to put twards a 6055 for my new 37 gallon tank. Here's a video if this helps?

I didn't see anything unusual there is some play and if anything that should make it quieter by allowing some compensation for being a bit unbalanced one way or the other. Is that bearing shell loose- the black part on the top of the shaft under the prop?

It's a litte loose but the between the magnet and white ring is really loose.

One of the breakshoes fell out? I take it they aren't made to? Can I send you the impeller and have it fixed? This is started to stress me out. I won't be back until the 1st week in Jan. but I'll work something out than.
