Hey guys, I did some searching on here, and tried some of the techniques, but I'm having a hell of a time getting my prop off. I wanted to remove it prior to storing, just so I know it comes off, not for any repair reasons.

I'm using an OJ prop puller. I snugged it up, and hit it with a ball peen hammer. I tried to tighten it as much as I could. Nothing would work. I see that the key is sitting on top of about two of the threads on the end of the prop shaft (almost flush with the back of the prop), as if it weren't installed correctly. I don't know if this would prevent it from coming off, but it seems really odd to be that far out of the keyway (I would expect to hardly be able to see the key when the prop is on).

Any words of wisdom? I could really use some!
