vertex skimmer broken

[D.J.'s reef]

hey guys not sure if anyone can help or not but figured id ask.

i have a vertex in 180 that i have been runnin for about a month now and the it has stopped workin.....

i just pulled the pump out to inspect things and the pump feels like its running but the needle wheel isnt turning....

so i pulled that out....and found mangled nylon/plastic washers on the ceramic shaft....and an indention from one of them on the top of the needle wheel...\\which means the bushings failed.

where can i get replacement parts?? or is there a replacement part available?
im hoping that yall can help me thats why i went here to ask for help
this is the only skimmer i have and my tank is runnin without one now....
thanks
