Prop removal

Sailor · 10-12-2007, 03:32 PM

I read the instructions for how to remove a MB prop and it says to make a prop removal tool with a flat bar. Does the bar need a bend in it or does it stay flat? Granted I haven't tried it yet, but I am anticpated a stuck prop and it seems a rather easy process, but this part doesn't seem clear. I think the bar should be bent enough to put presurre on the blade of the prop. Is this correct?

Here are the instructions I am talking about:

yep,make sure you have a bal hyper before you go trying to turn it off or you wont get anywhere.if you have a bal hyper then the prop wrench needs to be straight and long for better leverage.
