Hi to all,- hope you can help. Trying to fit drive lugs (x6) into prop
flange ?? 1) They are very very tight & I'm worried about getting them
halfway in & then not being able to take them out again ??? 2) How do
you put enough force on them anyway? - you cannot tap them in from the
back as the gearbox is in the way ? Is there a special clamp to draw
them in ( can't use a normal G-clamp)? Should they be lightly trimmed to
ease their fitment??? Thankyou in advance. Paul Munford Kit 625 NG

PaulI used a short bolt (with the same thread of course) and a larger socke
t bit and a washer to draw them in.It helps to soak them in a freezer too.G

Hi Paul
Use a short length of tube with a larger diameter than the lug as a
reaction point on the back face of the prop flange to allow the lug to
be drawn into position using a threaded rod with plate washers behind
the nuts. Don=99t what ever you do hit it with a hammer and
don=99t trim them either.
Best of luck
Richard

Paul, it pays to add some graphite based lubricant to help prevent galling
as you pull them in.
