In an email dialogue with Quinti Avio regarding the hub, Quinti requested that I perform a check procedure to valildate the torque of the end cap on the bearing for the Jack Screw in the hub. There is a tool provided for this purpose that came with the hub. So, pulled all of the blades from the prop hub, and then removed the hub. Attempted the procedure, but was not able to remove the end cap with the tool and ended up damaging the tool, and marring the end cap. The end cap is installed by the factory with a small amount of Loctite 243 (pretty much the same as 242 but Oil resistent). Sent an email to Quinti for advice on how to proceed. With the time difference (Quinti is in Italy), I hopefully will have a response when I wake up. All-in-all, pretty depressing turn of events.
End Cap turned 1/8" counter-clockwise, and no further. Won't go back either.
