stuck pump

when i pull the nut out as far as it goes it wont turn, only when i push it in bout half way does it turn. is this correct mick
sounds like its seized solid
what so the nut and spnidle should spin when the spindle is pulled out as far as it can/
you can ingage it with the pump and it will turn.
but if your has overheated etc wait for it to cool and you may feel it.
if not a new one

sounds like its nakkered, it should turn fairly easily when pulled out. You could try dismantling the pump and cleaning it. this will mean turning off the valves either side and also turning off the power to the heating system, then removing the four allen screws holding the 2 halves of the pump together, then seperate, clean impellor or replace head
can you explain that please seco. "engage it with the pump"
..thanks tw im off to do it now thanks again..
im off to work on it cheers seco
