Remove hub from prop

[VolsFan24]

I have a Tempest Plus 26p where I can’t get the hub out. I’m pretty sure it’s a normal flo torq. What’s the best way to get it out?

Smack it with a rubber hammer.

PRESS IT OUT

I havent hit it too hard. I dont want to scratch or crack the prop. So your both saying be a man and rip it out?

 

[fischnrod]

No , I'm saying put it in a press and push it out. Use something like an aluminum round stock that's the same size

A rubber mallet won't crack anything but you can always run up to Soddy and let Tim @ PP press it out for you.

It's normal for them to stick. Just use a drift (rod) or a big screwdriver and hammer and knock it out.

Thanks guys. I’ll try when I get home. I appreciate it.

Myself , if I lived it Chattanooga I would make a trip to Soddy Daisy and have the guys at Performance press it out so you don't risk hurting you or your prop..........JMHO

I got it out. Took the bit off my screw driver and used that flat surface against the hub and hammered it out. Thanks guys.
