I need to replace the lower unit seal nut on my Pro Drive. In reading the owners manual, it says to use a prop wrench. This looks like a piece of 2 or 3" aluminum flat strap with a hole in one end. I don't have one of these. Is there a quick easy substitute for the wrench? Could I not just buy a piece of aluminum and drill a hole in it? |

Aluminum will bend. Get a piece of steel flat bar. |

I a also trying to figure out, you remove the prop nut, why do you need a wrench to remove the prop. It isn't threaded onto the prop shaft is it? |

Yes the prop is threaded on the shaft. You just changing props? |

Wow missed that Russ. Thanks. I wanted to mention that the prop nut seal has left handed threads! |

no bushing is not threaded. it's tapered and should most of the time come off with the prop then just take a pliers and squeeze it a little and it comes out. make sure to put marine grade anti sieze on everything prop shaft and bushing when you put it back together. |

2x4 with a hole drilled in it works fine for me. |

A week BEFORE prop removal, spray some quality penetrant oil at front and back of prop. It will save a lot of cussing. I always used a 2x4 with hole drilled in it. Most auto stores have marine grade anti-seize . Or just eBay it a week ahead of time. Helps to remove prop I ce every year, needed or not. Gen. 3 lower unit is much better since they dropped thread prop BS. |
