Default propeller Spinner

Are there any special process when putting the spinner back on?

Anything would help please.

Just make sure that you clock it the same way - with the openings over the same blades as when it was built. Since it is match drilled to the backplate, the holes probably won't line up if you clock it the wrong way.

I've got my spinner, front and rear bulkheads, crush plate, propeller itself, end of the crankshaft, flywheel, and Landoll Inertia ring all marked with a black Sharpie marker so that it's easy to put it all back together the same way.

Don't tighten the screws up by "going around the circle" in sequence.

Do opposite pairs and split the gaps with each pair.

Hope my description makes sense...
