I have accessed the impeller and can not get it off of the shaft. It will now turn either direction to loosen it
SOURCE: witch way does the teflon side of the seal face
the rubber seals around the housing. the teflon goes against the graphite fitting so there is a seal, but it is a mechanical seal.

SOURCE: How do you remove the impeller
Take off the back of the motor, put a wrench on the shaft and turn the impeller by hand to loosen. It may be reverse threaded.

I can't say for sure if it is on your model and I don't rember where it is located. But some of these had impellors that had a allen screw that locked it to the shaft. I know this is not much help but I hope it helps.

The cause for those parts to fail is almost always running dry or poor water flow. Check for things like partially closed valves, dirty filter(s), leaks in the pump allowing cavitation or poor plumbing with too many elbows stacked together as the cause. Your solution(s) will vary depending upon the cause of the failures.

SOURCE: which way do you turn
Counter clockwise. Just make sure there is not a securing screw in the middle of the impeller. some do have this feature. If you do have a set screw in the middle, this is a REVERSE thread screw. Meaning, turn clockwise to loosen. Most do not have this however.

Yes...you'll likely find the impeller body has broken away from the motor shaft so even though the motor turns the impeller is not. Replacing the impeller and the seal are not to hard but you may want a shop to do it if you are not familiar with seal replacement. While they have it they can make sure the motor bearings are still OK since the most common reason the impeller breaks is a seal leak that leads to motor shaft and possibly motor bearing damage.
