I took out pump and motor but I can't figure out how to separate the pump from the motor shaft so I can replace belt. Some of these parts appear to be plastic and I don't want to force anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Martcopolo

Hold the motor in one hand and pound off the pump with a hammer and try not to hit the motor in a sensitive area like the centrufical switch, although they are usually on the top of the motor.
