    You know there is a small “O” ring on the shaft holding it in, right?
    Unless the magnet is swollen, and stuck. Then you just might need a whole new pump.

    Yes that's what keeps them all kind of sort of stuck in there is the piece of plastic the opaque semi-clear looking stuff might call it white It's peeling off the outer part of the impeller just peeling like you know onion skin. I didn't know people had to go through all this to get them out usually just pouring some hot water on it works and turning it over and tapping it but whatever you do drill tap something
