How to remove the existing impeller on my XL 500?
I have removed the blade but cannot budge the old impeller. It looks to have a spacer(?) inside it or is it just part of the impeller. I have tried brute force but no luck. I need to remove the impeller to replace the hood which is split

- Well done Allen many thanks, Bingo it works 12mm tap the aluminium, then a thin 65mm bit of bar/stud, and push up the hole, and get a 12mm bolt, screw into the thread made which then pushes against the bar/stud, and happy days the impeller slides of, and might be a good idea to put some ant seize grease when putting back together
- I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS DAC,THE IMPELLER WOULD NOT BUDGE & LAST RESORT WAS TO CUT IT OFF. WITH A NEW ONE COSTING £35.(EXSPENSIVE LESSON.) WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SPACER IS A LARGE BLOCK OF ALIMINIUM WITH THE PLASTIC IMPELLER ALL MOLDED INTO ONE. THE IMPELLER IS ONLY HELD ON BECAUSE IT IS A VERY TIGHT FIT. WITH THE BLADE OFF & BOLT OUT. DRILL & TAP THE CENTER OF THE IMPELLER BLOCK.(ALUMINIUM.) SCREW A BOLT INTO THE TAPPED TREAD (USE SMALL THIN EXTENTION BARS TO FIT.) WHICH THEN PUSH,s ON THE SHAFT AND PULL,s ON THE IMPELLER. HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS. ALAN.
