## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION OF THE PROP, MAINTENANCE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE SPINNER BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE THE LOW PITCH STOP THREADS WERE STRIPPED, WHERE THE SPINNER ATTACHES TO THE LOW PITCH STOP. THE LOW PITCH STOP HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE P ROPELLER SO THE SPINNER COULD BE REMOVED. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE HOLE IN THEFRONT OF THE SPINNER FOR THE LOW PITCH STOP WAS ENLARGED ALLOWING THE SPINNER T O WOBBLE SLIGHTLY DURING OPERATION CAUSING THE SPINNER AND SPINNER BULKHEAD TO CRACK. THE PROPELLER, LOW PITCH STOP AND SPINNER AND BULKHEAD ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED.
