is there such a tool as a prop puller for Volvo Duo props ?

The rear props on both my legs are stuck on tight.
My engineer does not have a prop puller.And has so far been unable to persuade them off.
Wondering if anyone on here does and for usual fee would be will to remove both rear props for me.
I really do not what to have to cut them off. But need to replace the Anodes behind these props.
Boat is based at Saxon Wharf in Southampton .
 
Used an adapted Halfords puller to shift mine, had to extend the legs on the puller with some bits of angle I had lying around but it did the job OK, I work in Totton so could get the contraption to you if you like to have a go, I think it is still assembled from when I did mine!

Thanks for offer Dpb
I will pm you when next going down to the boat.
Spoke to my engineer and he is off for 2 weeks holiday today so there is no rush.

I'd be questioning the capabilities of the "engineer" if he didn't have a puller to remove one of the most common props on the market. Surely this is basic stuff for someone that works on these things on a regular basis.

If they were greased when put back on then no puller should be needed. Someone else did some work on boat and did not grease them.
