Hmmm. Let's take them backwards.

I can't separate it from the output flange as an assembly.
You should be able to remove the bolts from the back of the coupler and slide the shaft/coupler assy backwards, at least till the prop hits the rudder. Are they stuck? Slip a putty knife between them and open it up for a screwdriver, etc.... There is a pilot bore between the output flange and the coupler that's a pretty good fit, so it may not move without a little help.

the prop shaft is not sliding out of the coupler
I've only done this once, but mine would not slide. It has a key, and a great fit (close to locational interference). I had to use a gear puller, and you only have enough room to do that if the shaft is slid way back, or the engine is out, or both.
