Unbolt the coupler and save for re-install.

Loosen and disconnect your packing seal - I would replace the whole unit with a dripless.

Remove prop from shaft

Shaft should slide past the rudder and out.

Check shaft bearings in strut possibly replace

Install new shaft

Install new dripless seal

Install coupler and check specs with gauge.
Align as needed

Install prop

Drink beer.
Well I agree but the drive shafts I was looking at on waterskis.com are the shaft with coupler pressed on. They mention not to remove the coupler. Where are yall buying your parts from?
