Gear Box Removal Problem

[deputycrawford]

     Hello all. I am removing my gear box while waiting for the firm Feel stage 2, large sector shaft, box to arrive. I have rounded one of the bolts that mount it to the k-frame. I'll grind that off and start over with a new one. My question is, I don't know if I should have removed the roll pin on the shaft in preparation to slide the shaft off the box. I started searching the threads here and can't find instructions. It looks like the coupler is splined to the box and will have to somehow be pulled off. I can't for the life of me figure out what tool would be good to use. Should I replace the roll pin before moving the rest of the box? Do I have to loosen the column from the dash? Any pics would be great.

Knock the pin out using a round punch & pry off the coupler....before loosening the box mounting bolts

No loosening of the column from the dash should be necessary....there should be enough room in the coupler to pry it off the shaft

Thank you for the reply. I searched several ways and never really saw a concrete answer. You know, I got this thing out of a 2 year storage to fix some problems. Three weeks later I have a new cam, rear main, all gaskets on engine, Firm Feel gear box and Scarebird brake kit en route. I also found the new style green bearings to fix the rear end vibration. I should have it on the road in a few weeks, if all goes well. All this because I attempted to sell it. 

I will keep everyone informed and take pics. I am learning how to attach pictures now.
