Default RE: Prop Nut & Bolt Torque Sequence Question

With the ZDZ80, there are the six bolts, which are the "drive" bolts... beings how the prop, nor the shaft, have splines of any kind. The proper proceedure is to tighten the main shaft nut to specs, then snug the "drive" bolts. Their only purpose is to prohibit prop "freespin" on the shaft. I would use threadlock on these, avoiding vibration movement.
