After you have the pump broken down. Check for a screw in the center of the impeller. If it has one then you will need to remove it. This will be a left handed screw. If that is done then you will need to remove the back of the motor or the small center plate on the back. Then the shaft will accept a wrench to hold it with. Then you should be able to unscrew the impeller with water pump pliers or a large basin wrench. The brass threads on the impeller will kind of stick to the steel of the shaft so it is just a matter of breaking it free, then it will spin easily.
I usually put a screwdriver in the left side of the impeller and give it a sharp smack downward with a hammer.
There are two methods, good luck.
