Prop puller

Response to Prop puller
The prop puller is a three arm (works only for 3-blade props, for the 4-blade props you'll need a two arm job) gear puller. Many auto parts stores have a tool loan program, and in Nashville they make you pay full price for the tool, but when you bring it back they give you ALL your money back!! It's a great program.

We measured the length from tip of shaft to back of prop hub, and it was around 5-1/2" so he brought a puller with a 6" arm. I had heated them up with a torch a bit, not too hot, and then ran some GIBBS BRAND (specialty penetrating oil)on them to loosen things up. First prop came right off with the first tap. Second prop took a few more taps.
