Sometimes removing impellers can be stressful. A vice mounted on a workbench is the way to go and makes the job very easy.

I have a vice mounted to a hitch receiver. It's more or less unbreakable.

Nice. What ended up working Scraggly?
Pb blaster soaked for about a week. Heat, made a vice for spline tool and a BFH

Sorry I missed this one... My advice would have been:
BIG vice on a solid workbench.
Pump to the right of the vice so you are pulling down on the wrench/pump.
lots of PB or similar
Little heat, not too much to hurt the seals
*** Closed end wrench to fit impeller tool - THIS ONE IS CRITICAL so as not to deform tool ***
Heavy duty impeller tool recommended; I believe @JetManiac has these
BIG cheater pipe on above wrench
Give it hell!
Glad you got it though!

My prop removal tool. Old raider midshaft welded into some kindorf so it's square and easy to wrench down in the vise.
This was the last prop I removed. Fought it the whole way off. Oxy-acetylene would have worked much better and melted the aluminum prop right off but I don't have one at home.

I can't believe nobody suggested beer. . .
While beer is a good solution for problems requiring brute force or crude manual labor, it is generally not recommended for problems requiring some forethought and problem solving and can result in busted parts.
