Are we talking about a 15 hp or 200 hp prop?

I would think it should just slide off.......so something is holding the prop to the shaft.

Rust, crud, etc???

Get a rubber mallet and give the prop hub [not the blades] a few good licks to see if that will loosen the prop so you can slid it off. You might also try tilting the engine up so that the prop shaft is pointing upwards and putting some "liquid wrench" or other product that will disolve rust. This might help free up the prop.

Getting a wheel puller to fit on a prop might be a problem....not sure if there is room.
