Take a old prop and drill it to fit the engine, Drill out the center of the prop for the deep well socket. Mount it to the engine and use it to hold the prop hub and remove the prop hub bolt.

You can use the prop washer to remove the prop hub, Put a spacer between it and the front of the crank and tighten the 4 screws a little at a time and it will take off the prop hub, Just make sure not to bottom out the screws in the prop hub, one thing that makes the DLE prop hub hard to get off is it is not a taper fit and has a lot of some kind of lock tite on it.

Also if you have a prop jig that has the center taped for threads you can use it to remove the prop hub.
