Shaft coupling question

Hi Folks, the clearances in my prop aperture are such that there is no way to pull the prop without either pulling the rudder, which I am loath to do, or remove the shaft from the coupling and push the shaft as far forward as possible.
My question is, how much will I gain by doing this?
Thanks.

Depends on how far the shaft was installed into the coupling before things were locked up. If the coupling was installed properly, you're looking at perhaps 1/8" - 1/4" max.
What are you using for a prop puller? There are designs that come in from the side rather than the end.
