Hello All,
I've got an An3 bolt with an nylock nut that I was attempting to tighten on some metal parts. For some reason, I couldn't achieve the appropriate tension. When I tried to remove, I noticed the nut would spin, but not descend down the thread. Yes, I held the bolt stationary.
I'm trying to understand why this is happening, and more important, how to remove the nut without damage to the rest of the plane. Did i bottom out on the thread?That would explain why I couldn't tighten, but why is it not letting me back out?
Thanks
