I have a PE5D-181L 3/4 HP AO smith motor attached to a PE5D-181L Sta-Rite pump.
It is leaking. I took it apart yesterday and for the life of me the impeller is stuck on the shaft.
I do not have an impeller screw on mine. But I have followed the directions here:

And here: http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/DuraGlasOM.pdf
I have also tried a strap wrench. I am turning in the counter-clockwise direction.
I bought the motor in 2013 from INYO pools.
Any suggestions on getting the impeller off would be welcome. I need to install a new seal. I also got the GOKit54 in 2007 and still have that seal from that purchase. It is new.
Ideas?
