Mark, Sorry I'm confussed. You said you tried the deep socket trick and it didn't work and then ask about using a screwdriver to separate the coupling halves. The coupling haves need to be pulled apart to get the socket in there. I do have a sketch of the process I can post if you don't fully understand it. Well, if the shaft is bent and are getting a new one instead of trying to get the old straightened, you can always get the Sawsall out and cut the shaft off. Then get the coupling into a press to get the piece of shaft out. |

Unfortunatley yes. A home dial indicator says a bend with loads of vibration. When splitting the coupler do you place a screw driver to start?
Thanks, Mark |

Mark,
Is the shaft bent? Just wondering why you need to pull it. Just as Steve (62wood) mentioned, the tough part is getting the coupling half off the shaft. It's (should be) a inteference fit between the bore of the coupling and the OD of the shaft. The coupling bore should be around .0005 to .001 undersize. Installing the coupling requires it to be heated in a oven so it expands. Now back to getting it off!! The area is usually too tight to get any kind of a puller in there. One method that most will use is to find a deep socket just under the 1" shaft size. The coupling halves are pulled apart and the socket is placed between the prop shaft and the trans shaft. Then longer fine threaded rod is used in place of the original bolts used to hold the two halves together. As each nut is slowly and alternately tightened on the threaded rod, they will now pull the coupling halves together but because you have the socket against the prop shaft, it will be slowly pushed out the tail end of the coupling! Sometimes I think it's easier to pull the engine so the prop shaft can be removed by pulling it forward!!!! A word of caution - if your shaft comes out easy and has signs of fretting (black or rusty smut on the shaft) then your boat has been run with the engine and prop shaft out of alignment. This isn't good because it will cause trans damage. |

Remove prop, loosen shaft log packing nut, loosen set screw in coupler at back of tranny , unbolt 4 bolts from said coupler,... then pray you can get the tapered coupling loose from the shaft. (note, you may not need to remove the coupler if the shaft will pull out of it-
its on a keyway and they have been known to be a "little" stubborn). The shaft should slide thru the floor, out the back . Im not sure about the rudder on that boat, but it I think it will slide past? |

How do you remove the drive shaft from a 1976 ski tique?
