1. Get some needle nose plyers and pinch the rod just below the end cap, if the end cap is at 12:00, have the end of the plyers at 4:00, and then pivot the plyers up to 2:00 and this should push the cap off.
2. Remove the shaft, at this point there would be the other end cap on the other end of the shaft.
3. At this point you can do 1 of 2 things, get some Vaseline like others have said and cover the shaft in it and put it back together (this will get you by for maybe a few days) OR
3b. Go out and buy 2.5MM stainless steel rods on amazon, they come in 10 packs 300 mm long so you could make 30 of them if you needed to. ($9.99)
4. Use your old shaft to determine the right length and cut exactly to that length using cutters and a grinder or dermal tool to smooth it off. Just make sure the length is right.
5. Use Vaseline on the rod and put it back together with the end caps on the ends. You will have plenty of material left over for additional shafts.
Takes about 20 minutes but I promise you will never have to spend $30 on a Marineland PRIM350B 350b Impeller again
