Question: Why would you want a shaft coupling that is easier to take apart, but also inherently less strong than a solid coupler?
I recently had to take off a stuck coupler to install a drip-less stuffing box. It was easy to make a puller to apply tons of force to separate it. I now know I when it gets old I'll never have to worry about it separating when I throw it in reverse! Also note this job should involve a torque wrench. The Buck Algonquin wed site says the jack bolts are 7/16" Grade 5 which means they should be torqued to 35 ft/lbs. That's pretty darn snug for those little, square bolt heads. The 4 bolts between the engine and coupling I replaced with grade 8 and torqued them accordingly.
