VARIPROP REMOVAL
VARIPROP removal after 3 years or more.
1.)
In order to remove the VARIPROP you must first remove the zinc anode (2).
2.)
Remove both lock pins (3) and the prop nut (4)
3.)
Then remove at first only two hexagonal socket screws (5).
DO NOT OPEN ALL !
4.)
Fit two of the long hexagonal head screws (7) into the outer bolt circle diameter of the puller (6).
Now fit the SPW puller (6) onto the aft of the rear boss and screw the long hexagonal head
screws (7) completely into the screw holes (11) of the front boss halve (10). Tighten the nut (8)
on the head screws (7) until the plate (6) is fitted snugly and evenly to the aft boss.
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the two separate halves of the VARIPROP hub !!!
In this mode remove the last hexagonal socket screw (5) as well and fit the third long hexagonal
head screw. Take care that plate (6) will fit snugly and evenly to the aft boss.
5.)
Now turn the hexagon head bolt (9) against the end of shaft until the VARIPROP comes off the
taper. Never use a hammer to remove the prop from the taper !!!
6.)
At the end remove the puller (6) carefully and secure the boss halves (10) with the socket screws
(5). Tighten strongly with LOCTITE blue ( medium ). Take care that the hub halves do not come
apart when removing the hexagonal head screws (7).
We highly recommend the use of above described special puller, available from your VARIPROP
dealer. Standard 3-prong pullers can easily slip and damage the rounded VARIPROP housing !
