    Collar on water pump 225 HPDI

    Ok guys, kicking my behind here. I have the lower unit removed and am trying to get the impeller off. Problem is there is a collar and a spacer above it that I can not get off. How in the heck do you remove the collar and spacer to get the impeller off?

    Any help wil be appreciated.

    ok, figured it out., and it was a major PAIN in teh rear...

    You have to pry/push/hit the collar towards the top of the LU. It eil eventuly come off. Be careful of the plastic collet, as it is pretty brittle lookign and feeling.

    We had a booger of a time getting that off when myself and Rob (FishnGI) did his impellar. Once you find the tricks, it is easy. Best way I found was to get ever increasing sizes of screwdrivers, sticking them between the lip on the plastic collar and the metal sleeve, twisting to move the metal sleeve up a touch, then getting a bigger screwdriver. Getting it back on was just as fun.

    Ab,
    Same thing I did...but my curve was busted knuckles...would use a screwdricer until I busted my knuckle, then go up a size...looks like I lost a cat fight right now...funal screwdriver was one of the 14 inch standard ones, LOTS of leverage there! next tiem I am goign to order a new collar and ring and jsut bang the snot out of it to get it off.

    Wat not that hard to put back on, I had a brass drift and I wacked it a couple of times really good and it was seated.....
