Which drive part for 6155?

What I have does not look exactly like either of the parts listed on your website.

That shaft needs to stay in the motor, it is stuck in the drive unit. See if you can pull it out and then press it back into the bottom of the pump with a drop of superglue, it should never be removed and this would indicate calcium cemented them together. The drive unit is 6305.701 and it does not include the shaft. Use a hammer to lightly tap the shaft back in, when it is in all the way it will be recessed below the top of the hole by a couple mm and you may need a punch to recess it.

I have tried and can't remove the center shaft from the drive unit. I have used a hammer and punch and had it come out a little bit but it's stuck in there pretty tight.
Any other suggestions, or should I order a new Drive unit and center shaft?

The shaft can only be replaced by a new motor, it is not sold as a separate part as they press it into the motor when the motor is built. Please send it in, be sure to include the drive unit with shaft and the motor and I will do my best to remove it and reinstall the shaft in the motor. To prevent this in the future, be sure to remove the drive unit and soak the motor and drive unit in vinegar and water 50/50 at least every 6 months and as often as every 3 depending on KH and Calcium. Be sure to include a note with your return address and phone number.
