Hi. I put this in the props section as well but haven't got much response.
I’m swapping my fury prop for a tempest and I can’t get the black plastic hub out of the fury. Is the thing pressed in there? I don’t think it should be? Also- if I can’t get it out do I need to order another hub kit and if so is my shaft a 1” or a 1.25”. Hope there’s a trick to getting it out. Thanks a bunch.
Do you have an SSR Hub Kit in your prop? Those sometimes have to be pressed (or driven) out.

You need to find a man with a press, or get a bottle jack and rig it.

On a new prop, getting the sleeve out can be tricky. It isn't pressed in and should come out with some careful persuasion. If you don't feel comfortable, you might want to take it to your dealer and have them tap it out for you. Is the Fury a 22P?
It’s a 23p and my dealer is 4.5 hrs away. I think I’ll just order another hub kit. So the actual shaft portion with the splines is 1” in diameter and then where it goes into the lower unit it goes up to a bigger diameter. I do believe it’s the pro-torq SSR hub kit.
A piece of 2x4, all thread, a couple nuts and washers is how I got mine out. 2x4 on one end, all thread through it. Washer on hub and tighten nuts to pull it out.
I've used a 1-1/16 deep socket, an extension, and 4 pound hammer to drive the SSR hub out in a pinch. Put a little grease on it before you install it in the other prop.
Interesting. I recently saw a new 200 Pro XS with a 22 Fury from the factory.Originally Posted by Jetch114
The same trick worked for me. I removed a Solas Rubex 123 hub from a mercury prop using the same method and the Rubex 123 is all rubber not partial rubber like the SSR kit.
I’m leaving it on the prop and ordered a new hub kit. Figured it would be good to have a spare anyway. Thanks for all your advice I do appreciate it greatly.
Interesting. Engines come in the crate with no propeller (or prop hub) when they ship from Mercury.
