Shaft coupler question

[mike66]

I'm wondering how this is set up. Would you remove the rear red section bolts first? There is a small screw head showing on the aft end of it. Perhaps that will allow that section to slide aft. Or maybe unbolt at the transmission end and see if the shaft goes all the way forward so it can be pressed out using the old tighten a socket method.

Coupler and red whatever.

I have not seen one like that. My prop shafts had a Drive Saver disc in between the couplers. Unfortunately after they installed the Drive Saver they painted the shafts with multiple coats of paint so the shafts would not slide fore and aft in the cutlass bearings. I ended up having to cut the bolts with a grinder in order to get the Savers out. Then I had Spurs make a spacer to fill the gap from the Savers. $558 for each spacer.
