Yea, just push in on the impellor drive shaft with a finger on one hand (for me the left hand) and pull on the impellor rubber blades outward and with a twist with the other hand as chuck described.you don't want to pull that drive shaft out and you don't want to lose the key in the keyway if possible so I usually put a clean white rag on the bilge below the pump in case I get clumsy

I gather that if I pull with pliers, it might happen? So I really need an impeller puller? Dave On Mar 23, 2014, at 9:00 AM, dwight <dwight...@gmail.com> wrote: David What water pump. I have a Sherwood pump on mu Universal M4-30 and I need to be very careful when pulling the impellor off the shaft not to disengage the impellor drive shaft out altogether.if I do that the job of impellor replacement instantaneously becomes a much bigger job. _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David Knecht Sent: March 23, 2014 9:49 AM To: CnC CnC discussion list Subject: Stus-List Impeller/gear puller I need to change my impeller and after an earlier discussion and difficulty removing the present one, I purchased an inexpensive gear puller to remove it. I tried to use it yesterday and found that there was very little space between the back of the impeller and the housing of the water pump, so I could not get the arms of the puller to grab anything. The arms on the one I bought are quite thick. Do I need a different tool?
