Can't remove impeller on LT250R
 

I've removed the case cover from the motor. Removed the impeller bolt but the impller won't come off the shaft. I've tried to tap the shaft through with a dead blow hammer but no luck. I haven't tried hitting it super hard for fear of damaging something. Am I doing this correctly? I need to remove the impeller to replace a leaky water pump seal.

use a couple of screwdrivers and pry the impeller off and the bearings for the water pump are just pressed in on the back side of the case nothing too awful wd-40 will help out alot. ~Josh
