The trouble with fishing is it was better before you got there, and after you left.

Wow.  Shouldn't be that Hard..  Do you have to remove it?.. can't you just slide the new impeller  over it?  If not  use something like brass.. softer than the shaft and pry it out t^

Soak it with penetrating oil,let it set awhile then tap it out with a piece of brass or something soft.

Sounds like it could be a Yamaha. They could get tough.
