Hello, I have a 70s Merc 500 that I'm trying to replaced dinged up stainless prop for a shiny new one. Previous owner apparently didn't grease spline because its absolutely frozen on. I've sprayed penetrating oils into hub, heated with a propane torch and attached a harmonic puller that I rigged up with a chain. It ended up snapping the chain when I tightened it with ratchet. I've hit it with a hammer but am afraid of damaging prop shaft.
Anything else to try before I attempt to cut it off? I have an angle grinder but not sure if that's best to use for this. Any tips or advice is much appreciated.
