How Do You Remove the Impeller On a Yanmar 6BY2-260?

[fishheadbarandgrill]

On my sailboat I have a 3JH3E 40 hp Yanmar. Yanmar makes a neat impeller puller that is a bolt that threads into the impeller body and pulls out the impeller when you tighten on the bolt. Is there such a tool for the impeller on the 6BY2-260? If not, why tool do you use to remove the impeller?

Thanks,
Bob

I use a large hooked end needle nose pliers and wiggle it out. Always has come out with no issue.
