Yes, most if not all transmissions / reduction gears are not designed for that type of shock load on the output shaft. I braced the coupling independent of the output shaft. Other softer surfaces to protect include the shaft log or seal. Good hard points to pull against include the engine mount beds/bolts. Calypso has a lot of space under the cockpit making much of this type of work more straight forward.

Depending on your abilities, the second biggest mistake might be to do it yourself. I think that the task is reasonably straight forward, but this does not mean easy. Marek C270, Legato Ottawa
