Re: Removing the Driveshaft coupler
It doesn't slide off, you need a puller.He who dies with the most toys Still dies! So have fun with them 1970 SS 396 Chevelle, 86 ATC 250R (RAD valve,K&N, FMF gold series, bandit XC's), 97 XLT600SP (SLP tripple pipes, reverse, EPI clutch kit), 95 SL750 (all the bolt on's) & 96 SLX

Re: Removing the Driveshaft coupler
Flywheel: Get a good puller and tighten as much as possible, even using an impact wrench if you have one. With the puller under max tension, lightly heat the shaft area being carefull not to damage the wiring inside the stator. Bang on the end of the puller bolt to help jar the flywheel loose. Sometimes if you walk away for 10 mins, it will pop off on its own. Just use patience. If all fails, take motor to your favorite garage.
Coupler: Turn crank until the piston closest to the coupler is half way up, then run rope down the spark plug hole filling up the cylinder with rope (keep some sticking out the hole for removal). Turn the coupler until rope is compresed. Bang like hell with large monkey wrench on coupler. It will come off. If the coupler has no rubber inside, use light heat to help break any loctite that may be on the threads.
I've only done one motor but the above worked for me. Good luck.
