Theres a big washer looking thing with little tabs that stick up you have to tap them in a certain direction it will start to spin and loosen up then you turn the pump around and around till it comes out let me know how it goes

Use a screw driver and a hammer to tap on the tabs on the lock down washer and everything will pop right out.
