The coupler is attached to the shaft with "spirol" (or coiled) pins. There is such a thing called a Spirol Pin Punch, used to knock them out. However, a regular 1/4" Pin Punch can be used to drive them out also. First try squirting some penetrating oil (ie: PB Blaster, Kroil, etc) around the pin to see if this loosens it. You may have to soak it overnight. If the oil doesn't bear fruit, then get the "fire wrench" (torch) out and heat the area to release the bond. Then try pounding the pin(s) out. Normally, these pins are held in firmly, and not much hammering is needed to drive them out.
Try your luck and report back.
