I took my tunze 6100 out yesterday to clean it and when i tried to pull the impeller out, it broke and now i cant get the impeller out of the pump housing! What should i do?

You will likely have to buy a new drive unit, but typically you can pull out the magnet by driving a screw into the plastic in the middle and pulling up on it, this won't work if it is really cemented in. If it is stuck in due to calcium build up, I would send it in to be rebuilt.

ok what is the cost on that? or is it worth just buying a new one?

$32.17, part 6100.700, but make sure you can get everything out first.
