Safety wired alternator attach bolt per Sect 51-06 (waiting until after Prop installed to tighten Alt belt - so I have a lever to resist turning engine while using the torque/belt slippage process). Re-opened Propeller box (rec'd late 2017 since ordered same time as Engine to get discount Vans offered) and moved to floor with wife's help. Mounted Spinner Plate to constant speed hub - torqued to 21 ft-lbs per Table 3-1 in Hartzell Owner's Manual. VAF has good recommendations from builders on how to remove plug in crankshaft (oil passage to CS prop) - and it came out easily with slide hammer. Used engine hoist w/ straps to lift/position Prop to install per Sect 44-02. Tightened 6 places, but didn't torque/safety wire ...yet. Reference data on Prop: Model No. HC-C2YR-1BFP/F7497 Assembly Serial No. NS3530B Blade 1 L82636, Blade 2 L82641 ( Low pitch 13.6 High pitch 35.0)
