how does the seal plate come off after you have disconeted the pump

Hello, Richard. You will need to remove the diffuser cover and impeller first. I have included a link on How To Replace the Motor on Your Pool Pump http://www.inyopools.com/HowToPage/how_to_replace_the_motor_on_your_pool_pump.aspx The link is not specific to the Whisperflo, though, it will provide a general overview on how remove the parts.

I have a whisperflo wf-26 pump made before 2008 . I always have used the almond plate gasket which is for units made before 2008. With this new seal plate which gasket should I use, Thank you

The seal plates manufactured before 1-31-2008 would be part number 5020-062 that you can view by clicking here. If you need to confirm date of manufacture you will need to provide the serial number to Pentair so they can advise. Their phone number is 1-800-831-7133 .

I have a Pentair Pool Pump: Part 7-177451-03 and we are looking for parts for it. Can you advise, what alternate part numbers would work with this?

Hi Melanie, could you send us a few photos of your pump and motor? Please take a close up shot of the motor label as well as a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump. To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation.

Looking to replace the seal plate and the O ring on our part 7- 177451-03. Picture attached. Can you help me.
Unfortunately, we cannot use this image as the seals and gaskets are actually based on the front pump wet end housing that the motor attaches to.

what product do you use to seal the seal plate so water does not leak out

If you use a Seal Plate Gasket 357100 this will keep water from leaking out. This gasket is used on this particular seal plate 074565

Will this fit my pump? It seems like it is the correct one but wanted to verify before ordering.
