Question getting the nut off

OK, so I hauled the boat. My Indigo prop is screaming at me to get it installed.

How do I get the 34 year old broken cotter pin (which appears to be bronze) out of the hole in the end of the shaft?

My set up looks very similar to marthur's prop pic above, except that his is clean and you can actually see what you are doing. I've already managed to break off both ends of the cotter pin.
