Need a little help

[Scraggly]

I've tried all the usual tricks. Heat, oil etc... This has never seen salt and only had 3.8 hours installed. But I can't get it to budge.

I've got to get these separated ASAP.
Any tricks I don't know about?

 

[Scraggly]

Is clockwise looking from the shaft side or rear side?

Put the spline holder in a vice to stabilize it and use more leverage, find a pipe or tube to slide over the wrench and as always reverse thread, righty loosey

 

[Scraggly]

What I've been trying. I broke my bench vise on the last one I removed.

 

[yamanube]

I've had good luck sliding the driveshaft into a lathe, you can clamp very close to the impeller then and remove the shaft flex.

I bought the hd tool, welded an overload leaf spring to it and smacked it with a 10 pound sledge. No heat was needed.

May I suggest: please, get it off that beautiful hardwood flooring, Have a helper use /stand on the 24" pipewrench at the spline tool. Place a min. 3' pipe over the wrench and pull/ jerk sharply in the same direction as person standing. The wrenches in the op's pic are on the left and look in the proper position for pulling on aforementioned pipe if the (open end of) wrench was rotated somewhat higher first. Yes, imp has l/h threads. It feels very "springy" when you twist, because as mentioned above , the long shaft acts like a torsion bar.

I'm just saying, I saw someone using an excavator getting a prop off a shaft on Instagram once

Best thing I have ever done is slide a stock 61x manifold under the middle of the shaft and it keeps it from flexing. Even the most stubborn ones seem to come right off. Set the manifold on the ground, lay the shaft right in between the two exhaust ports.

End of it in a vice, then stand on it. And I use the handle off my jack to slide over the wrench for 3ft of leverage. Comes right off.
Also lefty tighty, righty loosey.

 

[BruceSki]

What they said. Heat the piss out of the prop first though.

 

[cookn]

They get stuck on when you don't torque it down good in the first place. It allows the motor to seat the prop on really tight

 

[Big Kahuna]

I have a 5' x 1.5" sq. tube (Steel) that I put on the wrench at end of the shaft on the spline tool. Pops it right off.

If you broke your vice you can take it to the driveway and roll yoir car/truck tire over the "wrench" to keep it planded (worse case) be very very careful not to back over the shaft itself!! Then cut the end of your box wrench off and slide a pipe over it. Leverage is your friend. No heat req

 

[hurcorh]

Wouldn't it be better to just use a larger ID pipe instead of cutting the end off of your wrench? Just a thought.

 

[DAG]

Sure but if you want to play that game wouldn't it be better to have a vice that doesn't break? "Just a thought"

 

[Schmidty721]

IS this damn prop off yet?

 

[Scraggly]

When I kick this phenomena it will be. The vice that broke wasn't made to handle that stress. I know all the normal stuff and yes I know it's left handed threads. I put it on properly with marine grease. And hasn't been on long. Just surprised it's this stuck. I've taken 20 year old crusty stickers off easier. Was hoping someone had a different approach.

You could always ask roseand to make you a thread? They tend to get a lot of hits.
