How do i remove this drive shaft coupler (PTO?) 97 XP 787 Motor

[x2nervisx]

One of the motor mounts got loose and tore up my drive shaft and the coupler attached to the motor. How do I get this piece off so I can replace it? I don't see a nut or bolt in the middle of that hole. Is it pressed on? And what is this part called? I can't seem to find it listed on any parts fiches.

The PTO is pressed on for your ski

So I should use a gear puller to take it off? And how do I put it back on?

No..the coupler part is pressed on the big part, but its treaded on the crank.

If it wasnt already mangled like yours is...you MUST use a chain wrench on the big part. It is of course 1 link to big on the normal ones...you have to order one with a bit longer chain.

I do have one more of those PTOs available if you need it but they are not cheap. One year one model part and on top of that the 787 HX guys use them all the time too.

I'd buy it from Nick if I were you. It's a really rare part and you're gonna have trouble finding one at any price.
