[H82Bshocked!]

Greetings to all and thanks in advance.
I am starting a conversion of a 1990 Mazda Miata Mx5 using parts from a previously converted 1995 Ford Escort. I purchased an adapter plate and hub coupler from CanEV that looks great, but I am having trouble removing the previous conversion hub coupler. I think it is a taper lock hub. Any advice on how to get the old hub off without damaging the motor shaft would be greatly appreciated. Photo attached.

Nevermind!!!
I managed to bust the taper lock off by cooling the interior ring with liquid nitrogen through the inner bolt holes while rigging the outer ring with outward counter pressure.
It popped off with a loud snap!

Good work

Do we need to add liquid nitrogen to the toolbox now?

It's great stuff, and sometimes the only thing that will work. H82B, at least 2 of the inner circle of holes on the flanged part should be threaded to take bolts to push the inner bushing and flanged part apart, to loosen the coupling.
