[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 244607, member: 2436"] Lot of judgement here but heat the impeller quickly until water or spit just fizzles off then crack them undone. Reasons are first, If the impeller is heated quickly, Not much heat is transferred to the shaft hence it expands just that little bit. If you use too much heat, You will stuff the seal on your motor or melt the impeller if it is aluminum. . Final big point is, The threads for the impeller and or shaft are usually left hand. Not right hand. [/QUOTE]
