[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 309865, member: 10154"] That sounds like a bearing going bad. Squeeze grease in the fitting and if it does not come out the other end (the hole or tube next to it) you are not getting lube through the grease ports to the bearing. A bearing running dry screeches and will not cause the impeller to fall and contact the liner until it begins to fail nearly to the point that the balls are gone and the bearing falls apart. Mine was the same way when I bought it and the grease ports were salted up so bad there was no way for grease to get to the bearing... [/QUOTE]
