I'm a bearing engineer, so that's why I'm suggesting you do that.
Yea I considered that but they spun freely without making any weird noise. I noticed the shaft had a groove worn in it from the old seal and when I ran it yesterday it still drips every now and then from the back even with the new seal. I'll most likely replace the entire pump after this season, or earlier if it starts leaking worse.
