[C320-list] Prop removal query

Hi,

I sprayed ours with a spray called something like corrosion cutter, which
was also a penetrating oil.  I tapped it gently a couple times with a metal
hammer.  I repeated this the next day, then used a large gear puller that I
picked up at an discount auto parts store and it popped off.

Subject: [C320-list] Prop removal query

Could someone kindly advise on removal of my 15" three bladed bronze prop
which is on a 1" diameter bronze propshaft.  I have wound a three leg puller
up pretty tight and given it a tap, plus a bit of heat, but no joy.
Before I damage something does anyone have any first hand experience please?
Regards
Bruce
