Is it possible to separate the engine from the driveshaft on a Stihl FS 56? This because of shipping the trimmer and the length of it.

Loosen the front cover and the control block and it should just about slide off.
Sometimes you need to undo the entire front cover if it has a solid shaft with a clutch drum on the engine end.
