    If you don't have a puller - 5 mins with some scrap plate (1/2 inch of so) and a gas axe or plasma cutter will yield all you need - for a 4 blade I made one like below - then four suitable bolts tightened in balance and job done (mine has about 9 holes by now for 3, 4 and 5 blade props of different sizes but it is not precise - even used it underwater on scuba :cool:

    As a trial prop lots of antiseize but still locking wire or split pin/cotter pin reqd.
