Oh and one more thing hooha........I cannot remember 100% but something sticks out in my mind about that nut that holds the coupler on being left hand thread. Just be careful when you try to loosen it up. I'm not for sure, but it would suck to break it so just gently tweak it and you can feel if it's gonna loosen up whichever way you turn it. I would go into it assuming right hand thread and just gently try to turn it. If it seems like it's gonna tighten up, go the other way.

If it is like the ones I have done there is nothing threaded that attaches the coupler. The shafts almost meet. You have to pull the water pump and the motor to replace the coupler than reinstall it. Just makes sure you get everything lined back up. It isn't a bad job at all for little skinny guys. The cause of the couplers breaking is generally an over loaded machine.

Here are step by step instructions if that is your coupler.
