How did that break?

Put in vice, heat coupler.

I had it in a press and tried a four foot long bar and it shattered this way.....its a normal thread so counterclockwise to unscrew......going to try heat and see if it breaks loose

Grind flat spots on each side of the midshaft so it doesnt spin in your vise.

Ive used a vise and a 4 foot pipe wrench against my chest while pulling another pipe on the coupler towards me (counter clockwise). Use the ol blue wrench, just dont melt it off... or do.. lol

So those two pieces were almost welded together. 4 foot chain wrench lots of heat 6 ton press and it gave up a fraction at a time..45 mins workout and I managed to save the coupler..mostly..just because a new one is 3 weeks delivery and it's riding season here....will order new ones anyway along with shaft and midshaft etc. JM got me covered, thanks Chris...chat later. Thanks for all the advice guys, as always very much appreciated.
