Brief Description:  Hang prop and attach spinner

Attached the propeller to the engine. Very straight forward process and it all was painless as a one person job using an engine hoist to hold the prop in place while the bolts get tightened. The most important things are to make sure the O ring inside the prop hub is lubricated and the prop is in perfect alignment as it gets pulled to the engine by the bolts.Make sure you have the alternator belt in place before you hang the prop or you will get to do it all over again. Torqued the bolts to 65 ft-lbs and it's completed except for safety wire. Installed the spinner to check fit. the backplate in in 2 halves so it does not get installed prior to hanging the engine. The backplate bolts are hard to install as the ring gear interferes with the AN3-3 bolts and I will need to find a solution even though I could coax a few into place and got the spinner on.
