In another embodiment, the coupling assembly of the present invention includes a seal gland having therein one or more connectors that enable the seal gland to be raised and lowered relative the position of the pump's motor. In still another embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for replacing the mechanical seal in the casing portion of a fluid pump.
