Johnson 3 HP Outboard Model J3 REEC Impeller replacement

[loco50]

I have a small 3.3 HP Johnson and am trying to locate impeller. The schematic I got shows it behind the propeller. When you take the prop off there is no nut to remove. The prop came off with just the removal of the kotter pin and now I am looking at a spindle and a plactic housing behind it that turns the piston when you grab it. But there is no apparent pin, screw or nut removal to go any further? Normally I drop the foot and find the impeller on most motors but this one is funky. Is there a special tool required to go further.

J3REEC = 1999 3.3 hp

There should be two screws holding in the water pump cover behind the prop.

I have removed those screws and there are two metal plates that I can spin with the screws out. Do I just pull it all forward. The plactic knob is in front of the plates and screws you just mentioned. And you can't pull anything off without getting this off first. Check out the picture attached.
