Trojan Boat Forum

I really have and will have lots of questions as this project progresses. Thanks for your help, be patient with me. I am trying to remove the shafts to have them checked for true. I cannot get the connecting hub ( I'm sure it has a proper name) off. I got the lock bolts out, got the key out of the shaft, but now I'm stuck. I have used a small puller but they seem to be stuck. My next thought would be to heat them and maybe the expansion would free them. Help! C. Don

Check them in the boat first the may be ok why do you thnk there bad ?

where are you boating from ?

I am doing a complete restoration here and it might sound extreme but I have the engines and generator out olready and will be repainting the engine room before going back. Just wanted everything out of the way to clean and paint. I have never run the boat and bought it as a project. Maybe this step is a little extreme. I would like to know how to remove them if I did need to some day. Don

Try a bigger puller make sure you don't bend the flange on the shaft Coupling , if you have the engines out the can come out that way .

They do make a puller just for that BTW
