    Remove 3.3 prop

    Does anyone know how to remove a 3.3 Johnson outboard prop? I want to look at the impeller to see If its damaged. There's prop pullers online for like 100 but I really don't want to spend that much. I heard you can use a c clamp, also how does the puller hook to the prop to remove it?
