Hi ya'll,
Today I followed the lubrication instructions for my Hartzell prop. I removed one fitting from each side of the prop, made sure the openings were clear with safety wire and then squirted some grease in via the remaining fittings.
The Hartzell manual was very clear to not over fill the grease inlets - just six squirts on each side of Aeroshell #6. That all worked fine, but I didn't see any grease come out the opposite side.
Did I do this correctly? I presume so - but it would make me feel better if someone who has already done this can confirm this is expected behavior. I searched the archives, but no joy.
