I'm having trouble getting a prop off my 1968 Evinrude 1.5
I'm just not understanding where or how to get the penetrating lube into the prop shaft.
I have the whole lower unit disassembled to install a water impeller, but so far, I'm stuck.
This prop is unlike any others I've worked on.
It completely covers the shaft.
In other words, the shaft goes into the prop, not through it.
Of course I'm worried that there's essentially no shear pin in this situation with the prop frozen on.
And I'm worried about breaking the prop--even with a big rubber mallet.
I have a brand new can of PB Blaster penetrant.
Just don't know where to aim it.
Thanks for any help you might offer.
