mstam1971,
Do you own or have access to a dial indicator? After you pull the propdriver you can check the crank for run out. .002 should be the max. The original propdriver on my DL was .0075.[X(]
No I don't.
Got myself a strap wrench but it's not holding up so I'm gonna need to make a metal tool to hold the prop hub. See if I can get a dial indicator. Strange that this issue seems to be new or else I would have had noticed earlier.

The clicking sound is a mystery. There are no metal parts left, bearings look fine, no play and no grinding.
