Update
I was able to get the helmet off, but cannot get the driveshaft out, check out those splines the pinion gear was on. I can’t remember what the gimbal bearing looked like, but I think the inner portion is pushed in.
You're going to need a bigger slide hammer! Those splines are impressive.

Just to check I’m not crazy. Since I have the lower off, if I rotate it and the prop shaft turns 1 revolution, and the shaft that goes up in the upper rotates 1 and almost 1/4, that means I have 1:24 gear ratio,,,,right? If so , I’m surprised I can turn 32p and 30p props.

I guess what nobody is saying is, since the upper is not 1:1 , you can’t figuer out gear ratio by turning the vertical shaft in the lower and count rotations, you need it together as a unit and turn the driveshaft, and count rotations.

No it can be done, by rotating the lower 10 times. Your rotating 10X because it becomes more obvious, then working with small degrees
As example
Upper gears 19/16 = 1.187
Lower gears 15/19 = 0.789
Calculation 1.187/0.789 = 1.504 ratio
So rotate and count
1.26 lower 17/18 = 0.944 10X = 9.44
1.35 lower 15/17 = 0.882 10X = 8.82
1.50 lower 15/19 = 0.789 10X = 7.89
