Dave, Don't over think this, really. Get some needle nose pliers (ones with curved nose great) and a small phillips screwdiver. Put the screwdiver on the center drive shaft and apply enough inward pressure to counteract your pulling on the impeller. You should have no problem. Bill Walker Evening Star, CnC 36 Pentwater, Mi.

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 <[email protected]> wrote: David What water pump. I have a Sherwoodpump on mu Universal M4-30 and I need to be very careful when pulling theimpellor off the shaft not to disengage the impellor drive shaft out altogether…ifI do that the job of impellor replacement instantaneously becomes a much biggerjob.

I tried to useit yesterday and found that there was very little space between the back of theimpeller and the housing of the water pump, so I could not get the arms of thepuller to grab anything. The arms on the one I bought are quite thick. Do I need a different tool?
