Hello Brian. Thanks very much for the prompt reply. It may be bad news but you've saved me a lot of head scratching and messing about to no avail. Now I know what I'm dealing with, I think I'll try to get it off as I have nothing to lose. I assume its a solid shaft through the motor from where the the outer impeller fits to the inner plastic impeller? I'll clamp the shaft and see if I can move the impeller. I've noticed that there is already a bit of run out on the inner impeller/shaft/aluminium body and the tolerance that you quote is not as fine as it should be. That said, the heater appeared to be working fine before the motor packed up. If by some miracle I managed to get the impeller off and the motor repaired, what glue should I use to re-seat the impeller? I imagine it gets quite hot around that particular area. Thanks again for your reply and the benefit of your valuable expertise.
