Prop removal ideas

Postby viteau » 31 Jan 2012, 18:50

Hi Guys,
What's the best method for getting a prop off? I am going to send mine back to Austral to change the pitch from 12 to 14 to give me more speed. Any ideas would be great.
Cheers Chris

Ive taken them off without a prop puller but if your not careful you will damge the prop. Firstly you need two people both have big hammers :o . make sure the prop nut is loose but still on the shaft so you dont wreck the thread. Get two pieces of hardwood one at the front of the prop hub and one resting on the prop nut. If you time the blows together the prop will come off easily. Again dont blame me if you stuff the prop :cry: .

Thats how i use to do it and works every time. Untill u smash the prop. My puller works no dramas and is safe as houses. Ill text ya a pic of mine dave. Easy to make and easy to use on your own
