I am going to be removing my prop shafts this fall/winter to install new shaft seals. I am assuming that the connection between the prop shaft and the transmission involves a shaft key that engages the shaft to the collar that then bolts to the output flange of the transmission. I know I have a nut on the end of the shaft up against the collar with a cotter pin. Is this correct? I dont see any set screws in the collar. Is this a correct description of how the shaft is attached to the transmission? Any advice on taking this apart and pulling the shaft out? I know I have to clean the shafts to protect the cutlass bearings, not to mention inspect the cutlass bearings which were replaced 5 years ago.
