It's really just removing the mounting bolts on the pump and pulling it free of the engine. There should be some set screws in the drive shaft you will have to loosen. if you don't see these, find a hole in the drive shaft cover and pull the starter cord a little at a time to rotate the shaft, These holes are there to access the set screws. If you are still having a hard time, you may have to gently break the drive shaft free, check my source on this process.

I've got a Husky 1750 psi power washer. Want it for my carpet cleaning wand. Too much psi? hot water okay ?

Alright, I know many of you might be saying 'why in the heck do you want all of that pressure for a carpet wand which usually only needs about 300-500 psi even from a truck?! Well, I do have a nice Cat brand truck pump and yes, I run it at about 300 psi. Anything higher wastes water, and when switching to a hand tool for steps and upholstery you really need even less pressure.
So after all of this why use a 1750 psi? Well, it's all I have and I need to clean a high rise building so I have to use portable equipment. I DO have plenty of suction power so I'm sure that the extra pressure I'm putting down will get extracted fine. So this is not an issue.
Soooo my questions are these:
1. Can the seals in this pump ( typical cupped rubber seals X 4) handle the hot water supply from a typical hot water tank?
I do have a post inline hot water heater that I will heat the water further AFTER it leaves the pump.
2. Is there an inexpensive ( cheap DIY way) means to reduce the pressure from the pump? Also, since I have 4 jets on my wand will this pressure of 1,750 psi be reduced by 4, thus about 425 psi per jet?
Thanks for any help. No answers will be too far fetched considering I am on a budget here, and there is a short time frame in which I have to get this put together.

If I were you i would look at your insurance policy very carefully. You are using equipment outside its designed parameters, and if anything goes wrong you will be completely on your own.
