Propeller removal (Century CPC)

Post by Charlie W »

Just acquired my first and only CPC. How does the propeller come off? I've removed the cotter pin, washer, and drive spring. Can't get a good look inside there to see what's fetching up. Should it now just pull off, or do I have to disconnect some of the clutch mechanism? Thanks in advance.

With the drive spring out there's nothing else to disconnect - the prop is now just held there by gunge on the prop shaft. It should turn on the shaft, and you may need to rock it back and forth to help it off the shaft.

Hope that helps

Sometimes the drive spring seems to raise a bit of a bur on the shaft which stops the prop coming off easily
