[Public-list] Shaft removal

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

If you get really, really lucky, just the square headed "set screw" needs to
be removed. Probably you will need to remove all the bolts, back the flange
out a little, put a nut (or some other spacer) in the gap between the shaft
end and the motor side of the coupling, and use longer bolts to pull the
flanges together (at the same time as the spacer pushes the shaft off the
flange). You may need to do this with several different spacers until the
shaft will clear the end of the flange. WARNING, watch your knuckles. Don't
let the wrenches slip.
