Stuck prop on Evinrude 9.9

[ba_50]

I searched the posts on this but didn't turn up anything useful. This prop was off about a year ago, but it won't budge now. Both fresh and salt water.I forgot to grease it! Pulley pullers won't get a grip and a chisel type tool doesn't help. I can't hit the plastic on the back.

Is there a puller out there that will work? Thanks.

You can make your own prop puller starting with a cheap hub puller ($7.00US @ Harbor Freight), some chain and "S" hooks. I would also soak the prop shaft generously with PB Blaster or some other good penetrating fluid prior to putting a lot of strain on the prop. Good luck and let us know how you do!

I wrapped a chain around the back of the hub, attached bolts to chain and flywheel puller and cranked until the shaft came out 1/8" We decided to quit before something inside got bent. Thanks.
