Regarding the Flo-Torq III hub, the parts are not interchangeable with the "II". Both the metal spline and the drive sleeve with wires in it, are different and must be used together.
So you not only need the plastic "wire" 2 part sleeve, you also need the longer bronze spline.

I use a regular socket wrench, with 1-1/16" deep socket and large size "breaker bar" handle. This is the best prop wrench you can buy and will last a lifetime. With this, the socket fits into the prop against the black drive sleeve, once the spline is removed, and setting the prop on the ground, you can easily knock the drive sleeve out, hitting the socket with a hammer.

You should use the Flo-Torq III hub kit with Vengeance prop also. Four stroke outboards are particularly suseptible to clutch rattle, expecially with SS props. But it can happen with aluminum props also.
