Can’t take impeller holder off

[1996samseadoo]

I took the steering thing off (sorry for crappy grammar idk what it’s called) and I have found a rock lodged into my impeller. I tried taking the entire piece off but can’t seem to get it because there’s some kind of glue/rubber stuff up against the top of it. Is there any way I can take this off? I’ll post a picture with it in a sec.

Look inside, there's 2 lines cable tied to the barbs inside for the siphon bailers. You need to remove those as also the hose clamp on the water supply line from the pump to the cylinder head. Without this off you'll never get the pump off.

Removing those 4 outside corner washers/ nuts should be all that you need to pull the impeller assembly off. It's likely someone silicone sealed the gasket.
Patience and start pulling at one corner at a time to free it up.

Correct, that's the factory sealant which is right where the fittings go thru I posted about. Without disconnecting the lines inside you'll never get the pump off.

I got the rock out without removing the pump so all good! I do plan on changing the pump oil soon I just don’t have time to do it today.
