Default RE: prop nut wont release

ORIGINAL: TDubya

I have not put a spinner on yet and have the cowling on. Should I try using a rag to the shaft or could I crush the threads? Thanks for all the help
Out of curiosity, have you been able to get this loose yet? If not, here's one more thing you could try before you start cutting things. With a gloved hand, hold the prop very tightly. Position the wrench on the nut in a position that will allow you to smack the end of the wrench with a hammer. The impact from the hammer might loosen the nut before the prop has a chance to spin.
