Never worked on a prop before have you? Good luck if you can get it to come loose, especially with what I call chicken wire keeping the bolts from turning. A more likely scenario is a broken prop, but that almost always ends in catastrophic failure as it shakes the whole aircraft structure apart, or at least the engine mounts, which always leads to something worse.
