Put a block of wood (right size)against the bottom of flywheel. Slip channel lock pliers over shaft just in front of stainless caller and then put wire tie over end of handle to hold them together. Now put one end of pliers against wood block and pull collar back to remove c-clip. Works like a charm.
 
Popps is right. If your just needing to pull the pump you don’t need to remove shaft, if that’s all your needing to do.
 
I grab rotating seal face with my hand and push it toward the back of the ski then take a pair of pliers and push the clip out (one side of the pliers for each side.) Gotta put your game face on cuz it's tough to get in there and GIT SUM. :) Reading the suggestion I will considering making a device to remove the clip. I do enough of these to warrant making life a little easier. :)
 
I thought I did? Do I need to do it to pull the motor? Because I might end up there lol. BTW I'm trying to pull the whole pump, impeller etc cuz I'm trying to see if my motor or something else is seizing.

Does that strength come with the premium membership? :p:p:p
 
If you just want to remove the pump to eliminate it being the cause of a seized system, you do not have to pull the shaft. Just disconnect linkages to steering, vts, reverse gate, undo bolts remove pump.

But if I wanna pull the motor I gotta remove the shaft ?
 
You should be pushing on the stainless top hat looking part though, not the driveshaft where your pliers are. The tophat is to the right of your pliers in the picture.

Gotta be gentle with these things. A lot of external force will deform the sealing face. Another reason I used my hands. Yup if you are pulling the engine this has to come off and... remove the ring before you remove the jet pump. Too bad you are not local to me. :) I got all the junk you need. Ha ha. If you can't loosen it up... get your girl to do it. Ha ha ha. Kidding but some emery cloth wrapped around the collar will help your grip but me, being the hulk of the guy I am... don't use that girly stuff... unless I need it. :)
 
Truth be told... I have tapped one or two with a dead blow mallet to break it loose. Very gently. :) One or two and that is all. Spray some penetrate on that baby...

I moved it barely. I sprayed some penetrating fluid in there it’s pretty Rusted. Might replace everything anyway
 
It works a little better for me to put the handle end over the stainless hat pointing downward and rest the pliers against the lip that rest against the carbon ring. One handle on each side the shaft. Put the ends of the handles behind the block of wood and pull back on the other end of pliers which is now pointing upwards. Cable tie around handle under shaft helps keep the handles from separating. It should not take much pressure at all to move the stainless hat back if pump is still on.

C clip is off but it was rusty should I clean all that up or replace it?
 
The shaft typically stays in the ski, either the carbon seal or the PTO boot holds it in.
I would sent the impeller to Impros for refurbishment. It will look brand new.
