My Hartzel was beginning to seep a bit and causing a little grease on the windshield of my RV-8. The aircraft was built in '05, so figured it was about time to have the hub resealed, anyway. The prop is currently at the prop shop but I got a progress report today. I was told that the cylinder has to be torqued during reassembly and that there is no guarantee that the forward bulkhead would be properly aligned for the spinner screws. I was told that it may require drilling new holes in the forward bulkhead. Anybody every have any experience with this issue? Any prop maintenance on other airplanes I've owned have never had this issue. The guy at the prop shop said that they see it frequently on Van's RVs.
