Get a big ratchet strap.. tie to the prop and try to put an even bind... to tree / truck??

Put nut on where nut has full treads on shaft.. just shy of flush with shaft..

Tap on nut with hammer..

If you have help.. could have him try pulling as you hit nut first??

Take a three jaw puller & install it on the hub, screw down the center bolt down to put pressure on the prop shaft. You can spray some lube on the shaft but leave pressure on it. Come back after a half hour or so & smack the tightening bolt right on the head a good wallop, the prop should pop right off. Randy
