Default Are Flo Torq 1 hubs user replaceable?

Hi, I need to have the hub in my Laser II prop replaced. Being the Marina I used to work for sent all props out to get worked on I am at a loss as I never worked on one,,, Are they able to be replaced by me or do the old rubber hubs need to be pressed out. Also can the hub be replaced with a FloTorq II hubs or do I need an old rubber style put back in. Thanks in advance!

    My understanding is that if you have a prop with a 'pre Flo-Torq' hub in it, you cannot convert it to a Flo-Torq style hub.

    Hey there,, Thanks for the input,, it a '92 ,, I dont think its an original Laser 2 prop as its in such good condition, but I know the first Flo-Torq hubs were rubber and not the plastic inserts we have now.. I beleive I have a flo torq 1 hub but dont know what to do with it....

    they have to be pressed in however if the inside of the prop is square you can try a plastic hub
