(Soaking the shaft with a liberal amount of penetrating oil beforehand can greatly reduce the amount of force needed to free the impeller.) If the impeller still cannot be removed, an impeller puller may be required (Giant-Vac model 5811-P; part #31599). - Page 10 (additional shims can be obtained through your Giant-Vac dealer - see parts list for part numbers) and/or by loosening the engine mounting bolts and sliding the engine forward or backward until required gap is achieved.
