[C320-list] Removing shaft

[Warren Updike]

A good approach I've read on this list is once separated, insert a socket tool slightly smaller than the diameter of the shaft and reconnect the coupling with longer bolts (2) if necessary. Then, by applying a wrench to the nuts should pull the coupling off the shaft.

When I replaced my packing with a PSS Shaft Seal, I found it easiest to cut
the old packing hose with a Dremel to give me enough room to remove the
shaft coupling. Either yours will come off relatively easy, or it won't.
Mine was a bear but I did get it off. Cutting the shaft to replace it was
not an option I was willing to take.
