yesterday, I purchased a replAcement motor for the C48k2n143b1 at my local Hayward dealer... However, the motor was bigger around than the original... The heights of the saddle that cradles the back of the motor will not let the back of the motor lower enough for the pump face to match the pump housing... The dealer says this is the replacement motor???? What to do?

Hi Dave, You will have to remove the motor saddle from the motor stand in order to allow the motor to sit properly in the base.
