I used a 3 arm puller, PB blaster, a blowtorch, and the largest wrench I
could fit on the puller, with a pipe on that as an extension. I had a
12" adjustable wrench wedged in to keep the shaft from turning (the
puller would have turned with it). The adjustable wrench now has a very
impressive bend to it, and it took a fair bit of heat and force to get
off. Hopefully yours isn't that difficult. And as Mainsail says in his
blog, easiest way is to cut it off... if time is money, go that route.

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....?
