I remove the impellers from the pump so they are not scrunched up over the winter. FYI, I find it easier to remove the impeller after the pump is off the engine. After which I put the impeller into the olive oil where it is now lubricated for the spring start up if I decide to reuse it. There are several impellers in the jar for company over the cold and lonely winter. This procedure also affords an opportunity to inspect the pump's operation and the impellers condition. Leave the pump off the engine for the winter. Plug the pump outlet so the anti-freeze does not leak out, wine cork should do it.
