I have an RV-8 with an O-360-A1A. I've flown behind a Sensenich FP prop for almost 300 hours and now am upgrading to a Hartzell CS prop.
I pierced my rear crankshaft oil plug to accomodate the FP prop and now I need to replace that plug with a solid one.
Has anybody done this without removing the crankshaft? If so, how did you do it? (The issue is removing the plug without damaging the oil thrower tube)
I'm thinking of designing a special tool to engage the plug and slowly pull it forward. I've got a few designs in mind--has anybody got a tool for this operation?
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Rich
