I tried helping a friend of mine get his props off yesterday. Apparently they're notorious for the inner props not wanting to come off. With a little heat we thought we had one loose but turned out we melted the plastic (delrin?) hub sleeve.
I found some better prop pullers for next time but I finally convinced him to drop it at a shop today. They want to sell him a new prop. Props will start at S&S in Pompano and they send out to Frank & Jimmies for a re-hub.
Since he's thinking about pulling the drives also, what's the story on Volvo alignment tools? Not as easy to find as the Merc; any chance a Merc is usable?
