    How do I Pull This Prop?

    Who would put 2 props on one gearhousing? Huh? :rolleyes: How do I pull the foreward prop? Do I remove this nut? Left or right hand? Do I need a special wrench? You guys do it "backyard"? Do I use any lubricant (PB Blaster) on her beforehand? Do I need a new one after removing this one? Thanks!
