Jay:

If you mean the nuts and bolts for the flanges at each end of
the prop shaft, google "stover nut" and you'll see that the
nuts are reusable.  There is incorrect information around
about not reusing them, using loctite, or risking the prop
shaft becoming a pogo stick.

Has anyone really had that happen?  A show of hands, please.

Of course, the hex sides of the nuts get rounded since they
are such a pain to loosen and tighten, so in that case new
nuts are a good idea.  GoWesty sells sets of nuts and bolts.
The dealers sell both.  Bus Depot does, too.  The bolt ("screw")
is $2.46.  The nut is only $0.39
