My friend Austin came over today to help me with the gland nut, in the end this was easier than I thought it would be. After installing the flywheel & nut (with loctite 263), I attached a board to the prop hub which my friend leaned down on whilst I used a socket attached to another board to put enough force to tighten the nut. The nut needs to be torqued to 250-270 ft-lbs, here's how I made sure this was done correctly: I weigh 188lbs which means if I put my full weight on the board at 1.3ft that will equal 250ft-lbs. The board assembly was marked at the correct distance and installed on the nut. I started slowly pushing down putting more and more weight on the mark until my feet left the ground. That should be perfect.
Once all this was done I reinstalled the alternator magnets and magneto drive plate.
