The impeller is in the lower unit. If the engine seized you have more serious problems. Impellers should be changed on a regular basis so you don't overheat and damage the engine.

Actually there are more. There is a nasty Allan screw that can only be reached after removal of the trim tab.

No parts will fall out, just two O-rings will stick to one of the surfaces.
There are several pump types, each with different impellers, so make sure you buy the right one.
