How do I stop the crank from turning while trying to remove?Heat the coupler on the engine, then the best thing is the make or get a 1/2" coupler tool, to put on your impact wrench.
You can lock the crank in flywheel side, but the risk is to turn the crank out of true/phase.
The couple on the mid shaft, you need a tool to put in the mid shaft axle and lock it. then same procedure or you can use a big breaker bar (nothing to turn out of true here)
I'm about to do this same upgrade on my superjet. I will have access to the tool to put in the oem couplers but how do you stop the midshaft from spinning? I can do this with the midshaft installed or remove it from the ski as I'm going to be taking it off to re-check pump alignment.
I have the coupler tool and impact. Not too sure about an old driveshaft.Use the splines of an old driveshaft clamped in a vise to hold mid shaft while you replace the coupler, impact gun works good with the coupler tool..
Jetmaniac sells both tools if needed
