G62 prop set up? Newbie!
I just got a G62 and already stripped my hub. What is the proper procedure of tightening a prop to the hub? Do I need a torque wrench? LOCTITE? I do not have a spinner. Thanks for your help

Do you have a single bolt or six bolt? Make sure you have at least 3/8 of an inch of threads going into the hub and it will smash the prop before it strips. How tight? As tight as you can by hand then one turn or one and a half at most. if you have a prop slipping just add some 8/32 hex bolts to the hub like BME does.

Save yourself $38.95 plus shipping by tapping the hub for a 7/16 American bolt, available at any hardware store.Use the longest bolt that will tighten the prop and not bottom out on the end of the crank.....The hub is currently out of stock anyway.... 
A little oil or grease on the bolt goes a long way towards saving the threads..
