WP impeller won't come off.

[goody_700]

I'm trying to fix coolant leak on my sled...have it torn down, but can't pull impeller off. Am I missing something? I got bolt and rubber seal/washer off, but can't get impeller to slide off. Any tricks to getting it off? I tried pulling on it with a pliers gently, no dice.

Thanks for any help.

take and use mapp gas torch to warm up the center it usually has loctite on it and once hot the aluminum impeller will expand more then the steelcenter shaft.

Ok, will go buy a torch in a bit, give it a try.
Thanks!
