Hatteras 70 cockpit shaft
Hello to everyone.
I’m from Italy. I bought a wonderfull Hatteras 70 cockpit two years ago.
I would like to change the bearings shaft and the two headsets.
My problem is to divide the shaft from the gear. The shaft seems glued.
Any suggestion please?

I'm guessing you are asking about the propeller shaft installed in the gear coupling;
There is a nut on the shaft end like a prop nut, inside of the coupling facing the gear.
Usually a Ny/Lock nut with still a cotter pin.
Then you have to press the shaft out of the coupler.
There is two ways to do this; The right way and the wrong way.
I do recommend you hire a proper tech to pop this.
Re: Hatteras 70 cockpit shaft
Are you asking how to remove the shaft coupling or separate the shaft coupling from the reduction gear? Is there a 2 piece shaft? If so you may not have to pull the shaft.

Looks like the two couplings have rusted together. You may be able to drive a stiff blade putty knife between the couplings. You may have to loosen the stuffing box to let the shaft move back. If you can get on the shaft coupling with a pipe wrench sometimes just turning the shaft will cause it to break the couplings loose.
Re: Hatteras 70 cockpit shaft
What ever tool you use to get the coupler off of the flange, ensure the gouges are cleaned up properly with a file.
With out the rite tools and experience, you may end up doing more damage than good.
I do advise you find a proper tech.

the shaft is free to move. There are no propeller and stuffing box. I tried to turn and move back the shaft but nothing.
