Remove the rubber oring that holds it up there.
Then get a service manual.

The impeller is just pressed in. Usually I use some needle-nose pliers and gently pull up/out on the individual splines. Just work it out a little bit at a time. Also, make sure to note the direction the splines are bent, as the new one needs to go in the same direction.
