Yes make sure you have the tool that matches the impeller you purchased and a spine holder for your shaft that you can put in a vice.

What these guys said. Left hand thread, so when looking down the shaft at the impeller, spin the impeller clockwise to remove it.

I replaced my stock '93 impeller last week. That SOB is tight after 20 years. I used a heat gun, a vise, a 4 foot cheater bar and nothing...would not budge. Finally heated the threads on the back end with a propane torch for almost a full minute and it broke loose with help of cheater bar. Heat is your friend.
