Any tips for removing the Prop (3 blade) from my 90 comp ?
I have a puller on it wound up really tight and it wont budge. Ive tried heating the prop gently and it still wont move. Ive tried "carefully" tapping around the body of the prop and the puller with a soft hammer but still no luck. Any suggestions would be gratefully received before i get the REALLY big hammer out !!

Thanks

have you tried soaking it in penetrating oil? its worth a shot but heat might be your best bet. just don't take that prop nut ALL the way off until the prop is loose!

I tried a bit more heat and tightened the puller as much as i could and eventually it let go. When i say let go i mean REALLY let go, it sure made me jump !!
Thanks for your help
