Hi all, happy holidays! Got back to the cottage with the items I was missing. Job was going super well, got the shaft nut out np, inserted a socket as a spacer, and threaded on my new linger bolts easily. Started tightening evenly as my son turned the prop so I could tighten a little, one at a time.

Was going super well but as it got tighter, I was using all my strength to tighten and I ended up misthreading 3 of the nuts as a result! Couldn’t get them off so had to carefully saw them off with my oscillating tool. 100$ worth of blades later and a lot of sweat, I am back to this step of getting the coupler off.

I’m wondering what I did wrong? [mention]Holdmybeer [/mention], could the socket I used as a spacer have been too wide? Does it need to rest on the tip of the shaft?
