We are getting ready to replace the stuffing box and the shaft log rubber tube. What should we anticipate to remove the shaft from coupler at the engine?
Thanks in advance,

I ended up re-shafting and buying a new coupling which was faced to the shaft....my old bronze shaft had some circumferential cracks in it after I inspected it....and it was quite worn where it rode on the stuffing box ( or the stuffing box rode on the shaft...Thanks Greg - I was afraid of that - I think we have better access, but less working space to slide the shaft. Once off, how did you reseat the shaft into the coupling?
Thanks!

I ended up replacing my shaft after Taking it out and inspecting it....so I purchased a new shaft and coupling. Pretty easy to push it on when new!Thanks Greg - I was afraid of that - I think we have better access, but less working space to slide the shaft.
