I have to remove a pair of Hydromatic Hamilton Standard props from the R2800 engines. I am trying to find what specific tools are needed to remove the props. I have found a list online of all the tools needed for taking the props off and apart. I need to know what tool or tools are needed once the dome is off? Any assistance is greatly appreciated as I want to be able to show up with everything needed on hand to do the job. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. A little about your self and the aircraft you are working on would be welcomed by most members.
If you go to the thread Manual Index - American any Erection and Maintenance manual for any aircraft that has Hydromatic props will give you the details you need. Note there is a locking screw that must be removed before you can undo the dome retaining ring.
Today I am getting an error message for every link from the above web page. Had that problem not existed I would have given you a specific link.

Thank you I will take a look. I am actually removing engines and props from a newer aircraft, but since these were common engines across older models I thought I would try here. Fairchild C123K, Aerial Visuals - Airframe Dossier - Chase C-123K Provider, s/n PNP-022 PNP, c/n 20144, c/r N8190B

Thanks for the background. A nice addition to the collection.
she appears rudderless in that last photo. It is a common problem to get rudder damage in storage. I know it was put to rights and ferried to the new home, but I wanted to comment on that.
It is hard to block them both top and bottom and a big wind exerts so much force across the rudder in an unnatural way.
