RE: Prop Stuck on shaft--Help!
PLIERS!!!!, VICE GRIBS!!!!!!!!! PIPE WRENCH!!!!!! Please dont' ever offer to work on my engines. Those tools were made for butchers and shade tree mechanics. Whats an APC 17" prop worth? Certainly not more than screwing uo you engine with butcher tools. I'd try to find a way to lock the crankshaft from turning by removing the back plate and using a wooden dowel or similar to lock the crank and then turn the prop. That failing I'd cut the prop off. It would be a $5 lesson learned to ream the next prop hub before you install it.
