SX/SXi/SXi Pro Whats the best way to go about replacing a wear ring in a kawi pump?

Like the title says, I have a 750sxi pro and the wear ring is getting pretty gouged up. The gap between the impeller and ring is a bit wide and was thinking about having the ring replaced but dont know where to have it done or if its better to buy a new one and press it in myself. I would just ditch it and get a pump but I spent waaaay too much time blueprinting it last year. Any suggestions?

Are you sure that your impeller isn't what is warn and not the wear ring?

Yea, it "looks" like the wear is on the ring. I did some digging and found clearence specs for other models and measured mine. Im at .016 so I think its ok for now. I'll just clean it up and have the impeller re-worked by impros. I had to do a quick straightening job with pliers and a file a few weeks ago. Too close to the end of season to send it off then.
