Buy 10' of tubing, attach one end to the pump, fill it up with vinegar, attach the other end, and run till it gets warm. Pour vinegar out and fill up with water and repeat process.

You can remove the impeller housing. Sometimes, the bolts are a bit tight. If you strip the head, take a dremel tool and cut a new slot. Relube them when reinserting.
