Stuck spinner!

[smiling albert]

Hi
Been flying my TT a lot but the spinner won’t unscrew !
Tried putting wd 40 on gap between prop and spinner.
No luck.
Am I missing something obvious?

Any suggestions?
BTW it’s a v spec 1808 kv 2400 motor!
Thanks

Have you tried turning it clockwise to undo? If it’s a CCW motor it’s a left handed thread.

Looks like it attacked the ground and bent the shaft. Tape up a pair of channel locks to grab the motor bell, spin the prop and prop nut at the same time. If it isn't moving try the other direction.

Pretty sure the guys are right. Usually a black prop nut indicates reverse thread shaft. Chrome are for clockwise threads.

Try sticking a landing gear wire through the hole and twisting it. My v-spek motors are ccw, so @Ihichi Bolls and @FDS are right in the direction to turn the nut.

Sometimes when my prop nuts get stuck I just hold the motor bell in place and spin the prop. This usually loosens the prop nut enough so that I can remove it by hand.

Success!
It is anti-clockwise,just didn’t want to damage it.
Thanks

They are color coded? Really? Mine are all polished both directions. Learn something new all the time.

Old school emax motors came with black and chrome to indicate thread direction. Not sure of other manufacturers. Once everyone went to standard thread and nylock nuts for multi rotor craft that all fell into obscurity.
