Need help removing impeller

[sgoyal]

I was going thru ship manual

1) remove cotter pin and
2) reverse cable bushing

Next step is to remove reverse cable bushing and I am not able to remove that before I remove brash bushing

Pry up on brass part on reverse cable with long flat screwdriver

I put WD40 and it just slides out. Does it look good or I'm doing something wrong

 

[Raffa1024]

Looks good

 

[sgoyal]

Should it just slide out? Or am I missing something because it's not coming out that easily

 

[sgoyal]

Got it out .. This looks good wth.. When I took picture earlier from underneath it looked bad

check the cone grease, looks like it needs new grease in drive shaft hub

I also applied anti sieze the the splines on the drive shaft to ensure it would slide on and off easily going forward....you never know when you could get something stuck in the pump and have to pull it to clean it out(drift wood is a pain). No need of it being stuck on the shaft.

The edges on that impeller are a little rough. The impeller itself doesn't look too bad so you could probably just file the leading edge down a bit until it's smooth again.

Synthetic grease would be OK or needs to use marine grade grease.
