Note the “red stuff”on the flat, lol.
The problem is I can’t drop the impeller straight down in the housing
and get the impeller fins in the hole. If you rotate the impeller,
you can’t keep the key in place.

I was just thinking that maybe a thin sleeve over the impeller to
collapse the impeller diameter so it would drop straight down
into the pump housing might work. ???
