Getting the impeller off the auger drive shaft

After a great deal of struggling I finally have two auger drive assemblies on the bench.
One has a broken thrust bearing and worn bushing and a good impeller.
The other has good auger components but a very rusted impeller.
To repair the one with broken components the impeller needs to be gotten off. I’d like to use the auger assembly with the rusted impeller so the impeller has to come off that one also.
The auger drive end support bearing was so rusted to its shaft on one I had to rent a puller. No amount of heating and banging would work.
These rigs are 1995 and 1996. One is very rusted out and given how hard it was to get the bearing which was 1 inch the prospects of getting the 5 or 6 inch impeller off seems impossible. How do people do that? There’s only a tiny lip on the impeller to bang on. I do have the two roll pins removed. I’m not positive but there seems to be some white stuff between the drive arm and the impeller. Do those things get loctited together?
