So when you remove the back plate on the motor and use a screw driver in the slot you would want to turn the screwdriver to the left and the impeller in the opposite direction. Unfortunately it is not uncommon to break a <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/SpaParts/PumpParts.php">impeller</a> when trying to remove. You can get rust built up on the shaft and will freeze the impeller onto it. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/impeller-removal#post-235 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:34:16 +0000 Anonymous 235@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> I am looking for information on removing an impeller form my pump motor. I need to replace the seal and slinger. My question is is the impeller a rt or lt hand thread and does anyone have any tricks for getting it off. I have tried having someone hold a large screwdriver at the one end and using a socket on the impeller formed acorn nut but have been unable to remove it. I don't want to have to destroy it and buy a new one.</p> <p>Thanks for any help</p> <p>Mark </p>
