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
