John, When I did this on my LF38. I ended up pulling the V-drive and pulled the 
shaft out into the aft cabin. The hardest part was getting the prop off. Doug

Stus-List Coupler removal to install Dripless Shaft Seal AllI’m trying to 
install a a PSS shaft seal on my 1983 Landfall 38.got reasonable access to 
V-Drive transmission , got everything ready , but could not for the life of me 
remove shaft coupler , its really stuck on shaft , and of course I need to be 
able to remove the shaft partially from boat to install the dripless . I used 
everything I had including a 5 ton puller on shaft coupler using an impact gun 
on the puller bolt screw at one point and it never budged AT ALL. I Heated 
coupler with electric heat gun still never moved ..cant use gas torches because 
the transmission seal is right there and it will get ruined.Everything requires 
removing coupler first to proceed foward with dripless.Boat is freshwater all 
it’s life, and I know they are dissimilar metals (SS Shaft, steel coupler, 
bronze key (?).Am I missing something? Is there a bolt or otherwise  somewhere 
that I am missing?Thanks,John1983 Landfall 38, #155Ontario Canada
