[AT] Quiet list and tapered axles

[Bruce Fallon]

Thanks all,  I was pretty sure I was on the right track.  I will try and 
round up a bigger puller I already have the BFH.

One more thing.  You might try letting someone else hit it.  I asked a guy
to help me get an aluminum propellor off a stern drive shaft once.  He took
a big hammer and hit the end of the shaft about 10 times harder than I would
have.  It popped off.  He looked at me and said "It's not mine.  I wasn't
afraid to hit it."
