I can't belive this. My 6100 was stuck so I soaked it in vinagar for 2 day and couldn't pull out the assembly. I waited another day and it can out 1/4 inch waited another day and snap the prop snapped off :eek1: . Any help would be appreciated Roger. other problem is how to get the rest of the pcs out as well.
 
The easy way to get it out is to drive a deck screw into the magnet center, about 3/4" in. I then grab the screw with a pair of pliers and hold the pump over the edge of a table with the screw facing down and have some hit the pliers with a hammer to drive the magnet out, I hold the pliers in place and they tap with modest force where the pliers meet at the fulcrum point. This tends to work the majority of the time. I can extract it for you if you have any trouble. A slide hammer would also work if you have one. You will need a new drive unit.
 
I could ship it tomorrow, they run $38.93 for the newer 6100.70 shipped, on tunze.com, those orders come directly to me. UPS Texas to Florida is generally 3 days.
