a word of caution – be very careful with how you tighten the nuts. It never happened to me, but I read of people who managed to deform the coupling (on the transmission) in the process.

Nate, This has come up before. I think the best advice (not mine) was to put a socket slightly smaller than the shaft against the end of the shaft and tighten the bolts on the coupling to force out the shaft. Joel.

Boat (30-1) is on the hard and I have the new Buck Algonquin hose, new packing, new clamps. Anyone have advice re removal of the forward prop shaft coupling? It is disconnected from the transmission and I've pulled the prop shaft aft, so there is some clearance between the couplings. The pbase website suggests that these couplings may be press fit (as in machine shop press).... PB blaster applied, light taps with mallet do nothing so far, considering heating it with a torch....?
