Dave,

Try a little heat with a torch while you have the tension from the puller
on the drive washer. The aluminum drive washer will expand more with a 
little heat then the steel shaft will. If that doesn't work, use the hammer 
and the heat.  :-)

  I hope you're joking! I just emailed a friend about this and he said, "take your time and think things through before you resort to a hammer." (!)

  Also: I'm using the Boca sealed SS bearing. What was the concensus regarding leaving/removing the seal(s)?

    When it's good and tight, hit the end of the puller screw a good belt with a hammer! The abrupt shock will bust it free.

      I'm replacing the bearing in a Webra 1.45. All of the "difficult" disassembly is done: the circlip, wrist pin etc., but I'm having trouble removing the prop drive hub. I'm assuming this is a press fit and am using a gear puller, but even tightening the tool as much as I can, the hub stays put. Is there a trick to removing it? Thanks, Dave
