As soon as the engine turns over, the blades will flex in the proper position.<br /><br />However, the proper way to install the impeller is to have the housing in your left hand, then with your right hand spin the impeller into it in a counter clockwise direction.

The blades of the impeller should trail as you turn the driveshaft clockwise. That's the way I always remember it.
