I was unable to get my 5 inch prop extension off the crank with several non destructive efforts and didn't want to do anything to ruin either. After finding the right combination of socket size, bolt length, and number of washers, I was able to pull the drive lugs out the back of the prop flange and was then able to tap the extension off with a rubber hammer. The crank is now at the machine shop and for $30 USD they will mic the crank, check for any out of round, magniflux the crank, and check for run out on the flange. Once I get the report I'll know what my next steep will be. If all is well I'd like to get the crank balanced and get all other items clean and inspected and start planning the rebuild. If any crank work needs to be done it will probably go to a certified aircraft shop. Updates to follow...............
