Have you tried giving the bearing at the outer end a tab with a hammer? Put a screwdriver on it and tap the screwdriver. Pumps are prone to seizure because of limescale deposits and this should free it - if it has not failed. I have to do this every year to clear one of my pumps.

A simple tap on the brass end cap is all that is required and it's a lot less hassle than disassembling the pump. It's a method that is well documented. You can resort to other methods if it doesn't work

Hi

yes, tried the screwdriver and tap method, still no joy, so I'm going to get a pump (hopefully) then strip the old one down if possible and keep it as a spare, don't really want to risk stripping it unless I've got one to pop in in case it's beyond repair.

Sergio are you aware of the difference between a pressure pump and a circulation pump?
C/h pump, remove large screw in centre of body , small amount of water will dribble out, get 3 or 4mm wide screwdriver put in inside and engage it on the end of the pump spindle, wiggle it to free pump, I usually do this with pump switched on.
