I'm in a similar boat right now, trying to remove the impeller from a Cimmarron in order to swap seals and turn it into a Dart. This thing has been pretty lightly used, but I still can't get it off. The directions say to use a flat blade screwdriver in the back to hold the shaft, but there's just no way to hold that with one hand, and get enough torque on the impeller with the other...at least not for me. There must be some trick to it. I tried sticking a bar in the impeller for more leverage and just marred the impeller blade. Ugghhhh...
