What was found
PROPELLER WAS SUBMITTED FOR REPAIR DUE TO A SEIZED SPINNER ATTACH PN A24053 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE NUT. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ENTIRE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY WAS LOOSE AND UNSCREWING FROM THE HUB. THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN TORQUED TO 180 FT LBS. THIS IS A NEW PROPELLER ASSY AND WE HAVE RECENTLY SEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE LOW STOP ASSY AND SPINNER MOUNTING NUTS ON SEVERAL NEW, LOW TIME PA-44S.
