When pulling the prop, be careful it doesn't pull off and fall to the
ground/asphalt and cause a ding/dent in a blade. If this happens, you
have another job to have fixed. And I should know!

It may be difficult to pull off even with pullers. On Persistence we
tensioned the pullers to no avail. Then with pullers tensioned we
applied heat to prop hub and once heated to our satisfaction tapped
with a hammer. Note that we backed off the shaft nut quite a bit but
left on the shaft to prevent prop from coming completely off before we
were ready, Have been advised that sometimes prop comes off with a
bit of force and can be dangerous. Others will elaborate
