04OUTBACK,
QB12 mentioned in another thread that this tool really helps with pulling the impeller. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how well it works, but I ordered one to use for my next change.

I remove my impeller off my 04 LSV when I put it away for winter. That being said I first remove both ballast bags and the two inner walls (on each side of the engine). With the engine compartment totally open it is not so bad, this is how I change oil, drain the block and finally get that impeller.
I remove the impeller housing (3 allen bolts) and 2 hoses. Once you have the
complete impeller housing off it is much easier. 2 small screwdrivers on each side of the impeller, kind of work it out. I can't imagine removing the impeller without first removing the complete impeller assembly.Bruce Fuerstenberg

I do the same as Bruce, reomove the entire pump and then remove the impeller. I like to check the shaft bearings/seals and give it a good cleaning once a year.

Hey guys, thanks for the sober replies.. those drunks in NC weren't getting anywhere.. HAHAHAHA
Not a bad idea on taking the whole housing off.. I can see that is a definite benefit..
Thanks for the help.Brad

With the housing off it is really easy to grease the rudder (there is a grease zerk hidden by the housing)

3 Large allen bolts, 1 small one on a bracket and the 2 hoses.
It doesn't have anything to do with the belt.Bruce Fuerstenberg
