Y'know that massive nut that everyone has trouble getting off?
Any tips on how to get it on?
Tracy says 350 ft pounds. Phew. That's me jumping on the end of my torque
wrench.
How do I hold the shaft / counterweights / airplane still while I do this?
Any suggestions on where to get a 2 1/8 socket? That size seems to be
missing from my $9 socket set :)
