put the puller on, crank it up and put alot of heat to the hub area sometimes its all those tapered shaft props will respond to. A rosebud torch head works best due to its ability to deliver alot of heat fast, but a cutting head should work also. I have had to "cherry" props in the past to get 'em off. Nat

Haha that reminds me of a funny story. In service a mechanic was working on a hummer. They had a disk for a parking brake that was always rubbed by the caliper some. He pried on it and it fell straight down and split his forehead open.

A little heat did the trick!
