RK24 driveshaft removal

[tomwink]

Hi,
I had a stick get up into my hydrostatic cooling fan (plastic) and broke a few blades off. I ordered and received a replacement fan but I'm not sure how to get the driveshaft out to replace the fan. I can see two nuts that hold the fan on and they look like they are welded to the flange (I'm not sure) so I need to get to the bolt head on the other side.

Any tips on how to get the driveshaft out?

I appreciate any help!

Tom

Anyone out there make a skid plate for under the RK24 to protect this stuff? I could make one myself, but sometimes it's just easier to purchase if available.

Here's thread for someone who made them, but I have yet to see aftermarket skidplates.
