Like I said!
Leave it alone! If you force it, you will probably break it. It forms the the upper half of the shaft seal holding the ceramic portion and the lower seal is mounted in the bottom plastic housing which is the carbon part of it.
Try to reassemble the parts in the proper sequence and see if the top impeller locks into place. Many times the person putting it together forgets to line up the flats on the motor shaft with the flats on the keyed washer and they dont get washing action.
If you put everything back correctly and the motor runs, then you should be pumping water.
