GAWD people, we've given this poor man about a million ways to perfore a task that a monkey could perform. I really like the way this post has gone, especially when one poster says something to the effect that we don't even have to be knoweledgable about tools anymore in the hobby--I guess the hobby would be better off if it were just a bunch of 80 year old men who only know about doing it the "goold -ol fashioned, hard way." What does that have to do with the OP's question.

man, just get ahold of the prop hub with some channel locks and take the damn thing off. It's simple. We worry about a few scratches on that prop driver, but don't think twice about sticking a screwdriver, or bread tie into the cylinder to "lock" the piston. UNBELIEVABLE. Listen to yourselves.

Everyone has an opinion, and are thoroughly convinced that there's is better than yours.

I think the man has enough information to remove his poor, broken prop. Let's turn our energy into helping someone else with a problem.

Let the flaming begin...
