That's the bit the water hoses and connector go into? If so then it will come off after removing the screws, however they can just be tight. If there's any gap between the black part and the water jacket you may be able to carefully tap a flat screwdriver in and pry it off. If that doesn't work you'll have to try something more imaginative, possibly involving a hammer...
Watch out for the O-rings beneath the coolant hose barbs - you don't want to loose them.

Sorry Jonathan, its the other end (tool end) - connector end came off fine (I lost the o rings.....twice!), and removed the large bolt with the reversed thread but the black part on the tool side wont move....

That's OK - you only have to remove the black part nearest the tool. The other one can stay. If you undo the nut on the tool end, which is a normal right hand thread, then you should be able to see the bearings and pull the shaft out.
