Default Has anybody rebuilt a Procharger on their own?

As the subject states... my Procharger has always had a slightly "weepy" rear shaft seal that unfortunately has now become a leak. After driving 80 miles today there was quite an oil film all on the bottom of the unit. It's not the drain plug.

Procharger likes to ding people quite a bit of money for a rebuild and take their sweet time doing it... so I'd like to do it myself if possible.

I know the seals they use are easy to get and cheap $4 Chicago Rawhide pieces, but how the heck do you get the impeller off without damaging it to change the rear seal? I can't figure out a good way to press it off.

A while back I found a thread on a mustang message board that outlined how to rebuild a Procharger yourself but I can't seem to find it now. Hoping someone can help out.

Plan B is to send it back to ATI for inspection/resealing but I thought I'd ask here first.
