Thanks Tubs for your reply with those excellent photos!

I was going to remove the impeller unit, then turn the shaft end for end and replace the pump unit.

The reason being, the drive shaft is very corroded at the gearbox end, whereas the end that goes into the crankshaft is in good condition and I thought swapping the pump to the good end would be a good idea and an improvement on the current set up.

It would appear that removing  the pump unit from the drive shaft, would best be done by hanging  the drive between the vice jaws, with the pump unit sitting on the  top the jaws and then driving the shaft out with a hammer……….your thought would be most appreciated!

Thanks again
