Status: offline 		Opps, I forgot to list the pride of my Saito fleet. A 1.70 radial! This one is also still in the box waiting for me to finish my Top Flite Stinson. I have great expectations for it though. I know they are very smooth and sound great.

The prop drive is on a centering cone with an angle that is referred to as a "Locking" taper. It requires a strong puller that will latch into the groove in the drive washer. Some have had success with inexpensive pullers, but many just ruin the cheap ones. Many auto supply stores will lend tools, you might visit one and pop the drive off while you're there.

The puller I use is a lot more money than you would want to have sitting unused for 99.999% of the time, but I do use mine often. It's a Snap-On tool.

Just be sure yu pull it in the groove. If you try to grab the rear edge you'll damage the prop drive - it's thin there.

Status: offline 		This clamp device (bearing remover) that is available at a good auto parts store, (Not Pep Boys or Auto Zone), will clamp onto the drive washer without slipping or making marks on it.

Then use a gear puller that is long enough.

The Saito prop driver often pops loose and does not release slowly.

Like Bill says, the area towards the engine from the groove is thinner than paper and will bend.

Enjoy,

Jim
