Thank you, I did end up going this route and unbolted the engine and slide it forward. I attached some pictures of the front coupling as I have a gut feeling it isn't suppose to have those notches, please let me know what you guys think. I was able to get the front pin out of the drive shaft yet but it does appear to be worn so I'm going to see if I can find somewhere to order one. Do you guys have some magic trick for holding the crank in place to loosen the pulley(hydro lift) nut from the crank to gain access to the fly screen?
As for changing the filter only, I will have to look into that process as I assumed the fluid would need to be changed as well but I really appreciate the help.
