Easy way to cut out the plastic housing is to use a Weller soldering iron with the plastic cutting blade. Works very fast and you can remove the plastic without damaging the metal with the saw.
if i have to cut it out i use a die grinder with a wood type cutting blade, it removes alot of plastic fast, i typically cut a x pattern in the the ring then wedge a cheapo long flat head screw driver to pry it and fold it inward.
I took my water pump apart. in my case, the plastic ring can be removed and put back easily by hand. The ring has only a few scratches. what does this mean? Should I definitely replace the ring? (sea doo spark 2016)
yessir, this is how i do it, freeze the housing with impeller removed and new wear ring, the old one will simple punch out and the new one will slide in pretty easy, if your stressed on time then i cut the old one out and use a shop press and grease to press the new ring in
We sent the impeller off for service to Impros for the repair. We show you the Solas WR011 tool for the 100/130/170, and the 230’s should take the WR012 per the Facebook group.

Put the new ring in the freezer for a while. It will drop right in. No pressing needed.
I did that, still needed the press….
@@aagaardmotofoundry Wow
same here
To remove wear ring and install new one I found it easy to put both rings into freezer and they both just slide in
