prop question

[highlifr]

Anybody know how to remove a solas alcup propeller hub? I've looked everywhere and cannot find any info on this. I removed the prop and the torsion bars and it appears the bush kit should just pull off of the splined prop shaft. Not that simple it seems. Anybody ever installed or removed one of these before?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it was installed without first greasing prop shaft splines then it will very hard to remove. May have to break hub to get off.

Might try using a heat gun to apply a little heat to it.
