Trying to loosen the screw holding the wash impellar(the impellar has 6 flats on it to keep it from turning) the motor shaft the screw is screwed into keeps turning but the wash impellar won't turn because of a wrench on the flats. Is there anyway to prevent (lock the motor shaft?) the motor shaft from turning, so the screw will loosen? Thanks for your help

Once screw is off, I use a sharp wood chisel to bust the old one off. If you sheer off the screw, you can epoxy the new impeller on
