Water Pump Woes

And now - some questions about the water pump:

First: here it is.





I believe this is a MMI replacement pump. The previous owner of the boat told me had either rebuilt or replaced the pump (I don't recall which) about 2 years ago. Overall it's in good condition.

BUT!

The shaft now is seized. I'm guessing it's because it's been sitting and got a little rusty or something. But it will not turn at all.

Question: in explaining how to take the water pump apart, the Moyer Manual says remove the grease cup (I note that this pump does not have one) and then later it says to remove the impeller and shaft.

It does not give any detail on how to remove the shaft.

Does it come out this side:



Or this side:



??

In any event, mine's not coming out either side - that sucker is stuck, stuck, stuck and won't budge in any direction.
