6100 seized impellor ?

[reefrubble]

I have an older 6100 with a seized impellor . The pump was running fine Sunday after noon , and Monday morning the alarm was going off . I immediately unpluged the pump , and removed the front cover . I tried to remove the impellor , but it wouldn't budge . I know it is a calcium build up causing the problem , so I placed the pump in white vinegar . It has been in a vinegar bath for over two days , and the impellor still will not move . Is there anything else I can do , or is the pump a goner ?

If you send it in, I will remove it, however, it is possible that the pump was damaged by being locked up and will not work after a remove the old drive unit.
