Super Jet removing drive coupler off mid shaft

[eastbay]

whats the best way to remove the coupler off the mid shaft when its still in the ski?

 

[aramis]

take it out of the ski and use jetmaniac's tool (or make your own from an old driveshaft).

I can't think of any way to reliably and safely do it while it's in the ski, since the midshaft is hollow.

Didn't want to buy a tool dam

Take it out and use a bench vise + heat + penetrant. No tool necessary on the midshaft side. JMs cold fusion fly locker tool works great on the crank snout side without pulling the motor.

or if you dont have a vise, use a big pipe wrench on the midshaft and and bar of some sort that fits in the teeth of the coupler. ghetto but itll get it done
