Tom, where is the best place to get spare inserts for hubs? I need to get a set for my Rubex 103's on the Yamaha 300's, and I will also need a spare for my Yamaha 115 and 9.9 on the Outrage. I have found the complete hub assemblies online, but I cannot seem to locate a supplier for replacement inserts.

Are the Rubex hub inserts field replaceable? What tools are required for hub insert replacement on the water?
During some recent research into this subject, primarily due to this discussion thread, I noticed that the Rubex hubs seem to have a bad rep for getting stuck in the prop. Ken says the Mercury Flo-TorqII hub is the easiest to remove, (probably because of it's Delron construction), but he also indicates that freezing the entire prop with the stuck hub in it could be required with the Rubex for removal. Do you know of any reliable field methods that could be used in an emergency?

Thanks in advance for your help!
