Remove the 6 or so bolts that hold the lower unit onto the leg of the outboard. There is an access panel with 2 screws on it that you have to remove as well that allows you to disconnect the shifting rod. Remove the little panel and loosen ONE of the bolts on the coupler.
Pull the lower unit off of the leg, and when you stand it straight up, you will see a cover with about 4 bolts on it. That's the water pump housing. unbolt it, remove and you will see the impeller inside.
The only tricky part of re assembly is making sure you get the coupler lined up for the shifter.
