The coupling on ours is cast steel. A 14" or an 18" Pipe wrench on the coupling inside or on a zinc mounted to shaft, wedged under hull? Throwable cushions are handy to have when working in tight places. You can lay on them or place one under a wrench handle to protect the hull.
You can press the shaft out of the coupling by separating the coupling and sliding the prop shaft back enough to place a deep socket between the trans shaft and prop shaft. Then use longer bolts 4" or 5" cap screws and nuts to pull the coupling halves together and push the prop shaft out of the rear coupling flange.

I've wrapped a good rag or other such thing around my prop shaft and clamped down hard with a big set of vice grips against the hull.
