#%**%# coupling!!!

So engine is now loose on the front (engine mount cut), but we still have an issue on the coupling: the bolt that I believe I need to remove to be able to move the coupling backwards is solid frozen. See the picture
Questions:
- if I decide to cut the coupling, where is the prop shaft likely to end?
- How long is the engine side of the coupling compare to the flange? I cannot separate the 2 flanges more than 4-5mm, and cannot see the end of the engine shaft.

Plan B is to find a way to cut the engine mounts at the back, to be able to move engine forward first to clear the coupling, and not up first to clear the engine mounts... but access to cut is extremely poor..


Thank you for your help!!!
