I have disconnected the coupling between the 1 ½ in prop shaft and the transmission and now want remove the coupling from the shaft. It looks like a steel coupling that is rusted on a Stainless shaft and I don’t know if it has ever been off in the last 30 years. There is an allen screw that I assume is pinned to the shaft. It sits about ¾ in above the coupling and had a locknut on it. Using a torch and PB Blaster I was able to get the nut off. I also heated the allen screw then sprayed PB Blaster on it hoping that would allow the fluid to creep into the threads. I am letting it sit for the week until I can work on it later.
Any other ideas on how to get the screw out without breaking it off? Did I mention that I have very little room to work? Go figure.
