"Before you cut the shaft and coupling, try this. Soak it with "PB Blaster" spray. Get longer bolts that fit the coupler. Seperate the halves and slide the shaft away from the coupling. Find a socket that is slightly smaller than the shaft. Place the socket between the coupling halves and set the longer bolts into place. Tighten the bolts slowly in a criss-cross pattern.Keep the tension even and work slowly, so you don't bend the coupling halves. You might try heating it with a blow torch. The socket should press against the shaft and force it through the coupling and off the shaft. This has worked for me in the past.

Good Luck!"
