2 HP
Have a Flotec FPS5172 1-1/2 HP. Removed the pump body and diffuser, then removed the 4 nuts holding the motor, but still can't remove the impeller, or the motor.
Also removed the 4 long screws that come down from the wiring side of the motor, but still doesn't budge.
What am I missing to take this apart?

The impeller screws on the motor shaft. First replace the through bolts in the motor. These are the long bolts, they will just cause headachs. On the back of the motor their will be a place to hold the shaft from turning, If you hold the shaft the impeller just unscrews. If you look in the center of the impeller it may have a set screw holding it to the shaft. If you have one of these it will be a left hand screw. Then you will need to break the impeller free as the brass that holds the impeller on will stick to the stainless steel of the shaft. Don't let how tight this is fool you when you put this back together it just goes on hand tight. Good luck
