Looking at the first picture in this post of your prop & strut, I noticed that you have the prop nut and the jam installed in reverse order. In this application the thinner jam nut should be installed first followed by the larger nut. When the last nut is installed and tightened, it takes the load off of the first nut installed and since the larger nut has more thread area its better suited to accept this load.

Thanks Paul I was trying to remember what you guys said about that.
