Yup, my second prop is stuck. Any ideas how to free it? I've heard about prop pullers but want to exhaust all other avenues of approach before I invest in one.

Thanks, Eric 22' Davis

Ayuh,... I found this in your previous post, so I Assume you mean the forward prop on your dual-prop,..??

If so,... There ain't no Secret tricks,...
Penetrating oils, 'n Beaten on it,... maybe some Heat....
If it won't come off,.... Cut it off....

Just be sure to keep 'em well Greased from now on, so ya ain't gotta go though it Again...

Go get a pulled from an auto parts store. They do loan a tool. Basically u buy it, use it, then return it for your money back.

I'd hang on to the puller since neglect got you stuck in the 1st place. You never know when you'll need it again...
