Frans,
This issue was raised in September 2006, at which time I offered the
following advice:
quote
1. Set the torque limit on the torque wrench in the normal way.
1. Use a fixed spanner on the prop bolt.
2. Use a transition piece for the torque wrench that goes into the other end
of the spanner.
3. Orientate the torque wrench so that its handle is 90 degrees (right
angle) to the spanner.
4. Apply force on the torque wrench handle at 90 degrees to the handle, i.e.
straight out, i.e. parallel to the fixed spanner.
5. The torque thus created at the "other end of the spanner" transfers along
the length of the spanner and onto the prop bolt.
As you apply the force/torque, the prop. bolt will turn and you then simply
follow with it, i.e. maintain your hand force parallel with the spanner.
Re. 2 above: Alternatively, use the "open" end of the spanner on the prop
bolt and put a suitably sized bolt (one that the torque wrench will fit
onto) through the "star" end of the spanner, with a nut tightened hard on
the other side.
I have attached (I hope it comes through!) a rough sketch illustrating the
principle.

I apologize for numbering the two first paragraphs both as 1. The sketch I
attached is not stored in the list archive, where I retrieved the above. I
don't have the sketch on this PC, so I have made a new one for you - see
attached.
Good luck!
Regards,
Svein

Emne: propeller torque
All,
Today I received my Woodcomp propeller. According to the manual I should
torque the bolts with 22Nm.
However, because of the location of the bolts, it is impossible to get
there with a normal torque wrench.
Is there a special tool I'm not aware off? Or do people practice
torqueing with 22Nm with a torque wrench as reference, and once mastered
the feel, apply it to the propeller bolts? Or is it just not critical at
all and is anything between hand-tight and applying brute force acceptable?
BTW, the propeller appears to be of good quality, there is a mechanical
end-stop indeed, and there are two limit switches *in series*.

Ah, that's a great idea! Thanks a lot!
