Tip

Both horizontal propeller nuts have right-handed threads. Turn the nuts counterclockwise, when viewed from the rear of the ROV, in order to loosen them.

If the horizontal propeller does not come off of the horizontal thruster shaft easily after loosening the nut, tap the nut while pulling on the propeller hub. This should loosen the propeller collet and the propeller should slide free from the shaft.
