You have to drive out the roll pin that retains the lower shaft in the upper shaft. I suggest you get a couple of new ones to have on hand as it is easy to mangle them if you do not have the proper removal & installation tools.

Lakensea, thanks. Could you give me an idea where the roll pin is located? You've been a great help.

Look just above where the lower unit attaches to the midsection - you will see two shafts held together by a coupling. The pins goes thru the coupling and shafts. Remove the lower one.
