Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
The fan should just be a slide on the motor shaft snug fit with a metal clamp. The Blower wheel (fan) when they fail usually crack the center hub and no longer fit will on the motor shaft sungly so it contacts the blower housing as it rotates. That is why you hear all the noise. If the blower wheel / impeller as you referred to it does not fit tightly on the motor chaft then you will have to replace it. It should rotate in a true non-oscillation pattern like a circular saw blade. Any side to side movement during rotation is cause for replacement.
The O ring goes between the impeller housing cover and the pump. Remove the 4 screws and pull the housing cover off and you will see a thin groove that the O ring fits into.
VERY EASY REPLACEMENT
REMOVE PHILIPS HEAD SCREWS THAT HOLDS THE PLASTIC WATER STRAINERS ON THE FOOTOF THE MOTOR,

There Is a Impeller On The Sea Water Intake Side Driven By A Fan Belt At Front Of Engine , Remove Cover Pull Out Impeller Check Key Fit New Impeller And Gasket
your pump has seized.To check remove all the dishes followed by the grey dish wrack wedged in the bottom. Lift off the plastic spray arm to reveal a grey plastic ring around the outside of the stainless mesh, and you will also see the blue plastic impeller. Turn this anti clockwise and lift out the whole stainless mesh cover. Then there is a brownish ring with the blue pump impeller on top. Turn this anticlockwise and the pump should lift straight up and out. My blue impeller had come off and lifted off with the brown ring leaving the rest of the pump stuck in the hole! I eventually managed to get it out without damaging the housing it fits into. Replace the motor/impeller unit and off you go.
The front of the wet end must be removed to access the impeller. Then remove the rear electrical covering to expose the rear end of the motor shaft. Look closely at the shaft. It has two flat sides. A 12mm open face wrench will fit onto the shaft. Lock the shaft in place with the wrench and unscrew the impeller. The rear housing behind the impeller pops off to reveal four 9/16 bolts. Remove them and the motor is free. Reverse the process with the new motor.
It's possible to wear out the impeller. To remove the impeller: after removing the motor and impeller from the housing, you remove the cover from the electric end. Carefully find a flat on the shaft that usually fits an open end wrench close to where the shaft goes into the motor. Not on the end of the shaft where the spring thing is. Hold the shaft with a wrench while turning the impeller, don't let the wrench break anything. Double check the threads on the new impeller to see if they are left-handed. The impeller should unscrew in the direction of the motor's rotation.
Put in a new seal while you're there.
