My day wasn't going as planned, so I decided to change out my prop, which was on the to do list.
I've been soaking it with acetone/ATF, put a puller on it. No chance.
Pulled out the torch. Nada.
Then I notice what appears to be a crack in the shaft, moving horizontally. I little tap tap tap, and a hunk of shaft falls off, leaving behind a beautiful pink shaft.
Well, time for new shaft. The old Indigo prop was basically welded to the shaft. I cut the shaft with a sawzall pulled it out and on Monday, I'll drop it off for sizing and production.
On the plus side, I just got my two blade back from the prop guy.
