Either lacquer thinner or MEK should take that primer off. (I primed my spinner plates, but discovered the mistake prior to installing the prop. Primer came off quite easily.)

He didn't mention anything about paint on the crush plate in the video. I just ordered a 20# crush plate from saber and he mentioned something about primer. I know you don't want to have any paint where the bolt contacts the surface because that can cause slippage, but should it not have any primer at all?

That was a great webinar thanks for mentioning it Glen. Interesting angle/lost torque percentage math.
that was very enlightening. Also, the tip about making sure there is no slack in the safety wire was good too. I know sometimes, working with that fat safety wire, I have had a smidge of slack in mine before.
