| Post subject: | DP prop removal |
I have a 99 Volvo DP. I am just wondering if there is a secret to holding the props still while loosening the nut that holds them on. |

Yep. Put it in gear.  Removal: Put in fwd gear to loosen rear prop; rev gear to loosen front prop; remove both nuts CCW. Installation: Put in fwd gear to tighten front prop; rev gear to tighten rear prop. Front Nut: 45 Ft-Lbs., use Volvo tool Rear Nut: 50 Ft-Lbs., use 30mm socket or Volvo tool |

Make sure you have the tool. MUCH easier than trying to get something around it. |

Being somewhat lazy and not wanting to climb into and out of the boat for this. I just use a 2X6 about two feel long and place between the prop and the drive leg on whichever side it is needed on. I have done it 5-6 times -- no issues, as long as you can hold and turn at the same time --- so you just need reasonable mechanical dexterity --- |

I must admit I do pretty much the same as Dale, except I use wedge shaped piece of wood. Graham |
