Knocked the f*** out of my prop an now need to replace it. Didn't bend the shaft, just one blade it is a screw on prop and the shaft has a little rust on the threads. WD40 hasn't broke it free yet. Don't want to hit it too hard and chance bending the shaft. Any help?

What kind of mud motor we talking about here . Sd. , longtail. , make ?? A little more info .

Try PB blaster, WD40 won't break free that kind of stuff. Do a search, there are some other products people have used, I always use PB blaster because you can find it at autozone, Walmart etc.

Spray it down liberally, repeat for a couple days to let the science happen, then give it hell.

Have you tried searching "stuck prop" yet? There are probably two dozen threads that will pop up... Take a look.

You're gonna need a sledge hammer, plasma cutter, and vice grips.

It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

A little heat helps - so does a prop removal tool....

Not worth fucking with!!About like a godevil,Throw that pile of shit in dumpster and go see Kyle at GatorTail!!thank me later

And the gt fanboy runs off another customer....

Make yourself a prop removal tool, using a 2" wide piece of 1/4" thick flat stock about 4' long. Drill a 7/8" hole in it about 3" back from one end. So it fits over threaded part of shaft. Put a small pipe wrench on the bushing behind the prop with a cheater pipe on it, that will touch the ground and power it off using leverage, most come off pretty easily after soaking with panther piss Liquid wrench.

Once you get it off see if you can get a hex shaft for it instead of the threaded one. That's the best thing anyone could have ever done for one of these motors...going from a go devil with threads to the gatortail with the hex shaft was the shiz nit

PB Blaster....plenty of it and overnight soak.
