It sounds like your whole pump shattered. That sucks! Did the impellar break while removing it? Thats exactly why I didn't use a hammer or mallet. I just gripped it and in a sharp twist/jerking motion, broke it free. But it still came straight out. I didn't want it to get jammed in the block with the impellar caught on a flange or something. I replaced mine with a metal impellar WP.
Someone mentioned that they couldn't get a bolt in the bottom hole because the housing was in the way. I ran into that problem too, but I happened to have an allen head bolt from my motorcycle that fit perfectly. Still didn't help though, since the upper flange broke off. If you use the extraction holes, be sure to thread each bolt in a little at a time alternating between the two.
