How did you get on winding in the cap heads between prop and adapter ?

Mine where a complete pain when I wanted to take them out. I ended up swaping them for stud n nuts.

t'was no problem. The adapter bolts on to the gearbox first with 3 recessed hex head bolts. I put threadlock on them to make sure they stay put. My prop has a sliding joint in it, when it is closed right up it just lifts in to place between the adapter at the front and the diff flange at the rear. standard hex head bolts hold it in place. The whole job only took 15 minutes.

Ive got the same prop. It came with cap heads and was a pain to get a hex key in there. Even worse when in the tunnel and the sides where panelled.

Hi Wasa, I would not want to attempt it with the side panels on, I could imagine that being a nightmare. Fortunately mine are not fitted yet
