Sounds easier than done! Very little room to work. The hub is pressed on the prop shaft and even using a puller it wouldn’t budge. Heat, tapping, adding puller all failed to loosen it. A thread by others here said use a 5” cutting wheel and split the hub. That’s what to took to get it off.
Once...
I used the shop vac too and finished with the bucket of dawn soapy water. Use a long handle toilet brush to get in the hard to reach areas. Lots of rags finished the job. I agree with hating to climb out with greasy pants and shoes!
I’ve pulled one engine and Hurth transmission in one piece, but had to cut the prop shaft hub off to free the engine.
I’d like to separate the engine from the Hurth transmission and slide the motor forward to remove it. Has anyone done this and is it easier than cutting off the hub?
I’m working...
