i've heard the rebuild on these isn't too difficult to do at home, the metal parts found when draining is almost never a good thing and the stretching???? chain? I know there is a chain in the case but don't think you could hear it stretch, if so that is most certainly a bad thing. I would look into a rebuild as opposed to replacing. someone else should be able to shed some more light on that issue for you
