Whenever you remove the power supply from a 2465 family
scope, remove all of the screws that hold the right side
of the rear panel, and pull it out 1/2 inch.

Tapped lightly on the shaft, the collet released, and the impeller came right off. The collet is indeed broken. That's quite fragile (as stated) as I don't recall putting very much torque on that shaft at all.
Now that I have the impeller off, though, I still cannot lift the LVPS out because the motor shaft protrudes through the hole in the rear plate. Does that shaft normally stick out that far? If not, then maybe I displaced the shaft in this process.
If the shaft does normally stick out that far, then how does one extract the power supply? The manual states it should just lift out but it's a pretty tight fit and I can't see where I can tilt it far enough to let the shaft clear the frame.
Stumped again...
