I believe that is part of the retaining clip for the main shaft. I tried removing mine and it snapped of clean.

The procedure for rebuilding the pump includes (as I recall) pulling the flange for the fan off the front, removing that clip, and then pressing the shaft from back to front out of the pump housing. If that clip cannot be removed I do not believe you can rebuild the pump without destroying the shaft (instead of just seals and bearing you'd need the shaft, too).
