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  trigear

Paul

I used a short bolt (with the same thread of course) and a larger socket bit and a washer to draw them in.

It helps to soak them in a freezer too.

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’t  what ever you do hit it with a hammer and don’t 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.
