'I have recently purchased a PT-26 and would like to check the torque on
the prop hub nut. It is the puller type. I have not been able to find
the correct torque to apply.

Could you assist with the proper torque range. I have suitable 2' and
21/2' Bars, and weigh about 200#.

Thanks,

'Cliff,

Click on the link below for the prop side torque and maintenance requirements.

http://www.sensenichprop.com/direct/document/usencare.htm

As for the Flange Nut, I too have never found a torque listed. I use a two foot bar and apply my 150lbs of weight. I never have had any problems of gauling of the cones.

It will be interesting to find out if someone knows from the old days.'

'Thanks for the info. I had an old timer tell me 400 to 600 ft/#, but it
sounds a bit high and from long time memory.

Also should the nut be saftied for movement or tampering identification?

Appreciate your reply.

'Cliff,

I remember the old Lyc were up to 600ft lbs. But they did not use the brass cones.

As for saftey means. Standard is 1/4 Dia Clevis pin with washer and cotter pin.

'Cliff,

I use 600 foot-pounds. I have a Ranger reprint that states 600 inch pounds, and I assume that the 'number' is correct and that the
'units' are a TYPO.

'The answer is your weight and strength with a 4 ft bar thru the nut and pull
with your body holding the prop. Insert a clevis pin thru the hole that
lines up and cotter it. That will work! Bob Haas, Ft Myers Fl

'Most of everything that I am reading is along the same line that the old
timers that I know have said. They were of a mind to use a 3' steel bar
through the prop nut, put the back edge of prop blade down the middle of
your chest, and grab the bar with both hands and pull. Just a good firm
tug, and not a Charles Atlas type pull. And like may have mentioned, a
small clevis pin through the shaft and hub for safety. Some used an AN-3
and elastic nut. And the key was to check it regularly to make sure it
still wiggle a little, hot or cold, you done good.
