Thank you for the reply, and pardon the misclassified post.
I understand the principles behind the assembly (I've worked on everything from Evinrudes to Unimogs over the last 40 years), but I'm looking for some ideas on the method of disassembly.
I realize that bolt has to come off, but given the lack of wrench flats on the other end of the shaft, is using a pipe wrench to grip what appears to be a 2 1/2" diameter sleeve on that shaft a good idea? Those 40 years mentioned taught me long ago how quickly things can go from bad to worse with the misapplication of a bad idea.
