We pulled the Martec on Persistence last month. Initially it would not budge. Then my go to guy Peter came by with a puller and a lot of experience.
The first thing he said to do was to loosen the nut and back it off. I believe approx. ΒΌ inch. This will prevent prop from falling off. Then we put on the puller and tightened with absolutely no results. Left the puller in place and heated the prop hub with propane torch for a while. After abut ten minutes of heating we tapped the hub with a hammer and the prop popped loose. After that it was all about not burning our hands I hope the new Flex-o-Fold is as firmly in place as our Martec was on the shaft!

Did that with mine the last time it was taken off.....when the prop puller finally did its job, the prop flew off and landed on asphalt putting a dent or nick (maybe 3/16th deep) in the edge of one of the blades. Had to send it to a shop to have the dent repaired.....cost $40 plus shipping but it had to be done otherwise I might have had a slight vibration because of the dented blade.
