Ive heard all these horror stories about trying to get a prop off of a long tail is a realllll pain.. Whats the easiest way to remove a prop? any info will be appreciated.

Bind the shaft and un screw the prop. Come on man you work with tools every day.

You could make yourself a prop tool with a nut, piece of pipe, and two pieces of flatbar. Weld a nut onto a piece of pipe that will fit over the shaft. Weld the flatbar to the pipe, one on each side facing counter-clockwise when looking at the nut. When you slide the pipe over the shaft and rotate it CC the flatbars should fit against the backside of the blades. Stick a rod through the u-joint to stop the shaft from turning. Make sure the rod is not on the same side of the cross as the zerk is. Put a socket and impact on it and it will come right off.

alright thanks for the info,



thats alot of helpful info there bj.... Sinceee your off right now go take it off lol

You bring your work truck with all the tools and yank it off. Be my guest!

I fought mine the first time I took it off. Called Bart baker and he told me when you put it back on tighten the prop all the way tight then back it off about a 1/4 turn then put the rest of the nuts and washers on tight. First time I pulled the prop it took me about 3 hours took it off yesterday and it took me about ten minutes.

I have access to justt about anything i need to make that prop wrench, ill dig around and work tomorrow and see what i can come up with. Thanks for all the info guys!
