Victor: Actually it is not that hard with the right implements.
You should have 5 bolts connecting the coupler to the transmission flange. Remove the bolts and then move (pry) the shaft back about 2 inches. Insert a 1" socket against the shaft and the transmission flange (shaft is 1.25 inch diameter) and bring the shaft up tight. You will need some longer, hardened bolts. The length of the bolts will be limited by the space available between the transmission case and the flange. Insert the new bolts with the heads nearest the transmission and tighten, rotating around the coupler as you tighten. This will start to drive the shaft out of the coupler. At the point that the coupler again pulls tight against the transmission flange, remove the bolts, move the shaft back and insert another socket. Keep repeating until the shaft exits the back of the coupler. You can substitute one or more hardwood stock (round with 1-1.125 inch diameter) or steel stock. I've used several pieces with different length. Some shafts and couplers have a "key" and others have one or more "set screws" that hold the shaft in place as they turn. Don't forget to remove these. If you have the screws, try spraying some PB Blaster into the hole, just to provide some lubrication.
