Well, I was halfway through changing the impeller when the drive shaft slipped out part way. :mad: Urrgh! It appears that the lower pinion gear comes off when this happens. I am trying to remove the prop shaft/bearing housing in the lower end but it will not come out. What's the trick? :confused:Special puller? Do I even need to go this far?

You shouldn't have to go that far. The drive shaft should be able to find its way back into the pinion with a little coaxing.
