Now for the answer, what did I use to put the impeller cover back on.
Drum Roll Please
Krazy Clue. AKA Super Glue.
I cleaned all the surfaces, and put glue on each impeller face where it contacted the cover. I let it sit up over night and it bonded so well that it seemed like one piece of solid plastic. I searched through many different types of glue and honestly the Krazy Glue seemed be the best suited for bonding 2 pieces of hard plastic together in submerged in hot water. | Hopefully Super Glue will last. Do you remember what size were the torx bolts? |
