Thunder Tiger Raptors 30-90 - Imperio > Raptor Feathering Spindle Nuts Stuck

Raptor 50 with metal head and metal grips. Put in new feathering spindle and the nylon insert lock nuts would not tighten up all the way and when I went to remove them they won't come off either. Any suggestions? Thanks

I had that happen once. What has happened is that one of the nuts or stud ends has stripped. I put a socket wrench on the end that wasn't stripped and then with another socket tried to unscrew the stripped one. When you do this put a screwdriver between one of the blade grips and the head to put pressure against the stripped end. With enough pressure it will unscrew and come off. I tried several different ways to get it but that was the only one that worked for me.

I got it! I cut the heck out of it with my band saw. Didn't hurt anything but the nut and the spindle. Thanks for the help................

That might have been a good idea but I had a brand new set of metal grips and a brand new metal main rotor hub so I couldn't.!!!
