Some people have had success by positioning a nut that is smaller than the prop shaft, in between the coupling and then using the coupling bolts to force the prop shaft out. A suitable piece of sheet metal on the transmission side will ensure that the right shaft gets dislodged.

I need to replace the stuffing box hose. Boat (30-1) is on the hard and I have the new Buck Algonquin hose, new packing, new clamps. 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....?
