bakerman,
Usally some type of epoxy(like seagoing)is used to fill the bolt holes and seam the intake. Very nasty stuff to remove. But I think the question here is why do you want to take it out? You can replace impeller and leave that suction piece installed.
Flat broke made it more clear than I did. Unbolt the suction piece from the intake. http://www.americanturbine.com/images/parts/page30.gif
