[C320-list] Removing shaft

[Allan S Field]

The C320 Association has the Buck Algonquin Flange Puller as part of the
toolbox loaner program.  Given shipping costs though, it's probably not
worth borrowing unless one is requesting other tools at the same time such
as the prop puller and cutlass bearing removal tool.

I found that method to be less practical than advertised. I purchased a Buck
Algonquin Flange Puller
http://catalog.buckalgonquin.com/item/flange-puller-2/flange-pullers-coupler
-removal-tool/50mcp00500?

on the internet for about $30 and it was absolutely worth it. If I never use
it again that's OK.
