Stuck propeller spinner

To remove a stuck spinner....

Remove the boltscrew from the tip.

Using a small funnel and small hose, fill spinner approx 1/4 to 3/4 full with gun powder.

Insert a small firecracker into the hole leaving the fuse exposed.

Light fuse.

Run, at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the airframe.

Problem solved.

Note: Gunpowder is not FAA approved, therefor use only on experimental a/c.

For FAA certificated a/c, substitution with 100 LL avaition gas instead of gunpowder MIGHT be acceptable.

In the case of extream spinner siezure, perhaps a combination of both will facilitate the removal of same.
