Overtightened prop nut… the results!
Due to a misunderstanding between myself and my torque wrench, I massively overtightened a prop nut the other day. Silly mistake (I’ve learned from it) — but thought there might be interest in the results. It turns out you can make a threaded nut into a washer with this one simple trick!
NB — we couldn’t initially take it off the propeller end threads, but managed with some aft force from the propeller, and heating from a heat gun.
