Help,
I am trying to remove the prop from a saito 100 mounted on a H9 P-51. The problem is I can't turn the prop nut (spinner adapter) without turning over the engine. Holding the prop no longer helps as the prop is now loose enough that the shaft rotates inside the prop. With the cowl in the way, albeit loosened, I can neither get the glow plug out to jam the piston with a dowel. nor can I get close enough to the prop flange to hold it from turning when I attempt to turn the prop nut. I don't have much hair left as it is, but I am ready to pull what's left out!!! Do I have any recourse other than cutting the cowl off......I REALLY don't want to have to do that! I am open to any and all suggestions/advice on this little quandry I have gotten myself into. Thanks in advance.
