My X2 manuals says that teh prop should be torqued ot 72 ft-lbs. I normally use a 1/2" drive breaker bar and a cheater to take them off. Torque wrench to put them back on.

air impact have never removed mine, but a LONG breaker bar and vise always has, LOTS of force required though.
and yes, antisieze everytime they go back on.

We must be doing something different. Once I install a prop I've NEVER needed more than a wrench to remove it. They even come off with two wrenches at the lake when a vise isn't available. I have had to do some weird things to get one off if I wasn't the one that it installed it.

To help in the prop removal at the boat ramp/beach deal, weld the shaft holder tool to your hitch for an instant vice.
Works great every time and made prop tweaking a snap back in the couch days.

Great thread, anyone seen something similar for the sxr? I'm about to take mine off for the first time and could use some guidance. Not keen to follow the yam instructions :nono:

Might be a dumb question but what do you use to torque the prop if you slip a wrench over the drive shaft and on to the prop?

If targeting~45 ft lbs. Is your wrench 1 ft long? Apply about 45 pounds perpendicular at the end of the wrench.
45lbs on 1 ft long leverage = 45 ft lbs.
45lbs on 2 ft long leverage = 90 ft lbs.
45lbs on 1 ft long leverage = 45 ft lbs.
45lbs on 2 ft long leverage = 90 ft lbs.

He is asking how to apply his torque wrench when using a combination wrench.
I torque impellers goodentight with the ol double wrench combo. . Be sure to use nickel anti seize and you will never have a problem removing it in the future.
http://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0380 I use one of these when I need to use a wrench.
To elaborate on what mbrick was saying, here is a good video to watch.

Ah, I interpreted his question as to how to gauge the torque with the wrench. So I suggested weights to get close.
If I did a lot of impellers I would make up a wrench to torque wrench adapter and have the torque wrench 90 deg to the adapter.
I like the snap on wrench and snap on tools in both of your resources.
