SOLVED! ( ... or almost ...) How to safely remove the impeller from a Grundfos UPS32-80 180?

No idea if these will be helpful? This is one I destroyed whilst dismantling (was used in a marine fish tank)

It wouldn't be as simple as this would it?
I thought I observed that the bearings are in the "sleeve" of the stator so, if the shaft of the "old" is fine, it is very likely that changing the rotor from the "old" to the "new", everything will be solved . I'll wait for spring to come ... or until the "crack" occurs.
Thanks a lot,
