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.
