    Post a photo of impeller. Round clip does not sound familiar. I have not seen anything but
    a pin on flat of drive shaft to lock impeller to shaft on KE4. Proceed with caution when
    you encounter an unusual situation. The water pump cartridge is unlikely to have ever been
    removed since it left factory so it can be a toughie .but, it is only a friction fit in gear case.
    Torch may be best option. Be aware that the difference between not quite enough and way too
    much of anything can be very slight.
