What kind of prop?
If it has staked joints you'll struggle but if circlips you can push it out with a vice and sockets, don't lose the bearings if you want
to use it again. Remove the circlips or grind out the staking then put a small socket or a piece of round bar smaller than the head of the bearing cup
on one side and a larger socket on the other side and wind the vice shut to push it through into the larger socket. It will all fall into place (or
pieces ) then turn it over and do the other side. Staked joints are not supposed to be reused but you can get a new yoke with circlips fitted from
prop manufacturers.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

UJ Removal
Staked.
Chances are the cap of the UJ will snap off. Then you have to use a punch to try to tap the remains of the cap out. Sometimes we used a gas axe to cut
the cross.
Once the joint is out ream the holes (19mm). A prop firm will have a staking tool to fit new uj`s.
Circlip.
Get the circlip loose first so it will spin in the groove, then remove each one.
I used to use a vice and hammer to remove the UJ (if I was replacing the joint). 4 hits could get a joint out.
Before reassembly check the circlips grooves are clean.

PS I have changed 1000,s of uj`s.
