Is there a trick to removing the prop hub on the Park Zone T-28?

Reading the manual, it says that I'm supposed to put an allen wrench in the hole in the prop hub, but I think they torqued the thing on and I don't want to break the prop before I maiden the darned thing.

I'm assuming it is a standard "lefty loosey, righty tighty" nut?

Also, any idea what size allen wrench is used to remove the set screw? None of mine seem to fit.

Thanks!

Just stick a small screw driver in the hole at the end of it, And hold on to the prop and trun it just like you said.

Never mind. Nothing that the judicious use of a pair of Channel locks couldn't fix

Thanks. The guy who put the prop hub on must have really been eating his Wheaties that morning!

Just to finish the topic;

about the T-28 prop hub set screw..........for metric it's 1.5 mm. or 0.062 in. for those of you using standard tools, like the Moody Pollicus line.

One other item, I had one prop hub that had the set screw drilled and tapped in at an angle, rather than perpendicular to the shaft. It seemed to come loose very easily. So, if you are having this problem, check the drilling for the set screw. You may have to buy a new hub. Stan
