Impeller Puller for MD11C
« on: July 09, 2015, 09:29:28 PM »
Hi Folks,

I wanted to inquire if any of you have used an impeller puller while working on the water pump of a Volvo Penta MD11C.

I am gearing up to replace the impeller. Have not decided if prying with two screwdrivers is the way I want to go.

It looks like there are two sizes generally available. I am not sure if the smaller size (Sea Dog 660040-1) is still too big to grip the body of the impeller.

Thanks for any info and experience the forum would like to share.

Regards,

Bill

I just grab a vane with a large pair of needle nose pliars. Pull straight out off the shaft. Haven't damaged one yet that way.

I have a different motor - a Westerbeke - and the positioning of the impeller is very awkward.  I don't think I could even position a fancy puller like that!  I also use a pair of needle-nose pliers. Works fine.
