(Take the prop back off and use a block of wood behind the blade, try to match the other two blades.) Just my two cents....... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Hold the heavier one in back of the dent and tap it from the front with the lighter one. This can easily be done with the prop mounted on the engine since there is no lateral force generated.
