A local motor repair shop would have the thru bolts. If you have at least one good one, you could match up the size, and cut soem threaded rod. Most motors this size use either 8-32,10-24,or 10-32 bolts. You can buy threaded rod at hardware store. Try to find galvanized, to prevent corrosion, or paint the part inside the motor if you cannot.
One can find generic motor thru-bolts online fairly inexpensively, typically under $2 per bolt. You just need to know your length & thread, if you do not know the thread just shop by motor brand here.
SOURCE: Removal of Aqua-Flo pump from motor
You will need to pull the front of the pump off then unscrew the impeller. The impeller will be set on the shaft and will take some force to break free. Hold ing the back of the shaft and using water pump pliers on the face of the impeller will usually work but sometimes I will wedge a screwdriver in the fin of the impeller and hit it sharply (not hard) with a hammer to break it free. Then the housing will just pull free of the motor. When replaceing, the impeller just goes on hand tight. Hope this helps and good luck.

SOURCE: I was told that the Aqua Flo Master Xp2 Spa pump
I responded to the previous question in regards to the motor only. The xp2 does not have the strainer basket that the max-e-pro has . If this was a regular hot tub, the xp2 would work great, if this is above ground, then you do need a pump with a strainer basket. Again the xp2 will not work for an inground hot tub as the set up is different than an above ground unit.
Testimonial: "Thank you so much. That helps alot. Do you have any other suggestions for a pump tha might be less expensive then a Max E Pro?"
