Getting a loaner prop in the meantime mine is OH.
Removed prop but pins stayed in the crank?
Any ideas how to remove them without damaging?
Are they re usable?

I guess this is going to happen again when I remove the loaner prop.

Is this a experimental aircraft?
 
Aren't those supposed to stay in the prop flange? Isn't that how the prop is indexed to the crankshaft correctly?

There is a special tool for working them.

Borrowed a special tool from the prop shop, even with that one, we had to add some heat to it.
 
Hope the manual was ok with heating those parts. Hate to screw with metallurgy.
 
We just just used a hair drier , engine gets higher temps when in use.
