Subject: | Re: Spinner Question |
Hey John.
I have done this process 4 times in the last 6 months when my overhauled engine
had to be removed for the second time.
My mechanic came up with a perfect solution. Take a long, stiff strip of metal,
around 9" long (an old hacksaw blade is perfect) and weld onto the end a stud
made up of a bolt end the same size as the prop stud, with maybe three full threads
remaining.
Now spin on your nut and you should have enough room to offer the whole assembly
up to the prop stud. Then carefully nudge the nut off your 'tool' and onto the
stud.
You will probably fail to engage the thread and drop the nut one time in three,
but this method should see success in a much shorter time than any other I have
used.
Sorry I don't have a pic, but am not back at the airfield for a few days.
Hope to see your new spinner on at Gillespie when I am next in town later this
month!
