| Folks,
With the long hub I don't believe the nut itself coming loose is the issue. I have a locking nut, the kind that has out of round threads and the spherical bottom, you know the kind they use on Boeing airplanes... I worked for Boeing for ten years.
The problem with the long hub seems to be too small of a seating surface on the shaft shoulder. If it spins on the shaft it will rub the assy loose by removing material from the hub. I think the stock short hub with prop washer is the safest way to go and much cheaper.
Only CHANGE you'll get is what's left in your pocket. |
