Propeller removal involves safely detaching the propeller from the aircraft engine, ensuring all mounting hardware is properly loosened and secured. Installation requires aligning the propeller correctly with the engine shaft and tightening all bolts to specified torque values. Replacement includes inspecting the new propeller for damage and ensuring it meets manufacturer specifications before installation.
