help with impeller

[mumbulog]

I cannot get my impeller out my mag 36. It is stuck in the chamber and seems to have crud around it. I cannot get it unlodged. Any advice?

Have you tried a pair of pliers?

[mumbulog]

I have and it is not budging.

throw it in some vinegar overnight

 

[mumbulog]

I've had it in vinegar all week. It was diluted, should I use straight vinegar?

 

[markeo99]

I use full strenght how diluted did you have it? is the calcium coming off on the outside?

 

[mumbulog]

I didn't see any calcium, it looks like dirt, real dark and grungy.

 

[trippkid]

I guess like markeo99 says, straight vinegar then yank harder with the pliers, IDK. I never met an impeller I couldn't get out one way or another.

me neither just figured it was a calcium deposit or sand stuck in it
straight vinegar should eat I dont think it could hurt the situation any

yeah the impellers are magnetic so you know there is nothing in there but some gunk and stuff keeping it in. some vinegar and brute force should pop it out.

Try a muriatic acid/water solution (10%/90%).
