I am a novice, so please excuse my ignorance.

I am trying to disassemble my powerhead, which we do periodically due to lime buildup.

I am not able to remove the drive unit. The impeller comes off, but that is all.

Have I broken it?

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

It is locked up with calcium. You can try to pull a bit harder but it likely will need to be sent in.
