You have to press the splined side down... I put the vane housing (on top of 2 2x4's on the corners) pump cone end down, and LIGHTLY tapped on a piece of 2x4 on top of the splined end with a hammer. That takes out the shaft and bearing on the nose end... thans you have to flip it and use a deep 3/4" socket and a extension and tap the impeller side bearing out. Oh... get the seals out first with the head of a framing nail, and order a pump bearing kit... I didnt re-use them when I did this, although the bearings werent damaged. Its a bit barbaric.... but it worked.
