I made a mistake reinstalling my saber prop extension. I put paraffin wax on the bolts that attach the extension to the hub. You're supposed to put a drop of blue locktite on those bolts.
Paraffin wax is for the bolts that attach the prop to the extension, and of course those bolts are safety wired. Don't know what I was thinking.
Anyway how would you suggest cleaning the wax off the bolts and threads on the hub? Is there a chemical that would dissolve paraffin wax? MEK, acetone, etc.
Thanks,
