As recommended for winterizing my Universal 14 HP diesel, the manual suggested removing the raw water (sea) impeller. It stated be careful not to pull the shaft out when removing it. I put a screwdriver against the shaft and pulled the impeller off. Unfortunately I did slightly move the shaft but just a little. It went right back in. It was sort of a jerking motion, real quick and very short.

They state if you pull the shaft out by accident you have to remove the pump and realign it etc. However, I can''t turn the shaft at all by hand so it must be still properly seated (I hope).

I guess the question is for anyone knowledgeable to tell me it''s ok????????

Its an Oberdorfer pump.
