    This document provides instructions for replacing the mechanical seal on Armstrong Series 4300, 4302 and 4312 pumps with TC frame motors. The instructions involve 12 steps: 1) disconnecting power and draining the pump, 2) removing the coupling, 3) removing the mechanical seal components, 4) installing new seal components, 5) replacing the motor if needed, 6) reinstalling the coupling, 7) pushing the new seal onto the stationary seat, 8) reattaching piping and drain plugs, 9) restarting the pump. Precautions are provided to handle components carefully and apply lubricant properly. Replacement motors should have locked bearings.
