Eco is there a set screw in the side of the coupling, in the small whole in the second picture, and some times there is 2 set screws one on top of the other.  If you have taken it out you may have to knock or press the coupling off.  Good luck.

If it was a split pin the hole would go all the way through the shaft so it could be pushed out by a punch. Once you get it apart you might need to file down the spot where the setscrew dug into the shaft, It will make the reassembly a whole lot easier.
