prop puller does not fit

The standard prop puller doesn't fit my drive shaft area to pull the prop.  Does anyone else have this issue?  They told me the drive shaft is shorter than normal.  Will this effect performance? Is this

standard for a 2013 Malibu 22 MXZ?  We finally got it off with a torch and 2x4.

Also, I found this tube in my glove box when I bought the boat.... what is it? Thanks

Thanks. Yeah I was gonna get a harmonic puller but the guy that helped me said it didn't really work well and wasn't worth the money.  

My father in law has one that he uses on his response.  As much as I hate hammering on a prop shaft it works very well. (I'll stick with the c style puller)

Maybe the guy who helped you is a puss when it comes to hitting it ;)
