When you guys send your props in to be work do you remove the hub? Sending my T1 in to get BB and site says remove hub. How do i do that? Is there any spec way they are aligned and need to be put back in same way?

That prop has a rubber pressed in hub... Removing the hub does not include your type... Just square bore props.

Ok thanks. Good to know.
What is the best way to ship a prop to Croxton, USPS or UPS?
UPS, in a 16x16x9 heavy cardboard box, with the prop bolted through to a piece of 1/4" plywood to keep it centered. Then a lot of filler paper or air bags to cushion the blades. Usually costs me about $25 bucks insured.
Ok cool I got the bot already . Didnt know about the wood, but good idea. $25 cool, I was figuring 40-50 since here in Cali.
How hard do you have to tap the thrust washer to get it off? I tapped it with hammer and punch still wont budge.
Keep hitting it harder and rotate until it comes loose.Originally Posted by jeffj6987

Ok been hitting and rotating. Nothing yet. Even put some small nicks in it. How hard do I have to hit.
The thrust washer that is stuck to the prop?
No the thrust washer on the prop shaft itself.
I have been successful using a piece of 1" x 1" hardwood about a foot long. ( an old hammer handle will work) Put one end under the thrust washer and use the gear case housing edge as a fulcrum and rap the end with a hammer in several places if need be til it turns loose. If this doesn't work you will have to use a 3 or 4 jaw gear puller. When re-installing it use a bit of Moly grease on the bevel of the shaft and washer. Also removing the prop occasionally to check for fishing line and re greasing will help keep this from happening.
Thanks Garfish that helped get it off.
Do I have to do anything for sending in a aTempest Plus
No.
