fish and fins seem to do every spare part for filters.

I did the same to mine,there very easy to break cos there made out of ceramic,i went on the eheim website found the parts list for my filter which will give you a part number then put the number in ebay and got one for £3 delivered next day came with rubber bearings aswell,very easy to change,just slide the the impellor shaft through the impellor and put a rubber bearing on each end then pop it back in its housing

ok thank you, but how do i remove the old one, ive tried but scared of breaking it

i take it half of the old shaft is still in if so carnt you get a cotton wool bud add a little superglue to the end wait till nearly set attach to the bottom broken shaft leave for a while and then just pull the cotton bud out and hey presto it should remove the other broken half

 

[england]

correct, half in and half out,ive tried using persition screwdrivers but im heavy handed and worried i will fluff it for good,should i try n break the other half of the rod?

as you can see i have been busy busy, just got round to it, removed the part which i was worried about, went medi evil on it,

So now i shall look about ordering a new part, so next installment follows,prob around may
