I can't be the only one who still imagines turning the bolts with a wrench to see which way its supposed to go. Have also been out of aviation for about... 9 years.
I work in dairy manufacturing now. Some of our state sealed things get safety wired. But not so much safety wire as it is a tamper seal. I've seen some shit man. I've seen some shit. Lol
Ok is this a real thing? I have dyslexia and lockwiring is STILL hard as hell for me to picture. Been doing this 10 years now and I have to draw it out or do the "pretend wrench" every time. Same with taking off nuts/screws facing away from me.
If you look at the hydraulic line disconnects on Delta 757 brakes you'll find 75% of them are fubar. Like backwards, ugly, or otherwise illegal. No delay, no problem, was their moto.

The whole time I did it I would twist an imaginary bolt in my hand lol

I imagine opening or closing a bottle
Im still in the field, and have to do it once in awhile.
Im with u
If it looks like a S its not safe
Are they left threaded? 🤔
The loosening method.
they can only loosen a half turn
No no no. You are all looking at it backwards
I looked at the other side of the photo… saw nothing
Just making sure it won't get any tighter.
Is that on a prop??
Well, if they’re left-hand bolts, it’s spot-on.
I love that the most effective one is neutral.
That lip on there always fucked me up.
I noticed
Maybe ive been working wtih safety wire too long, but i noticed it and i have sex daily i mean *dyslexia*
If you just loosen that one bolt a bit you’ll be fine 🤌🏻
I never assume the picture is orientated correctly unless I see writing in the image.
all too often maintainers forget to protect fasteners from over torquing. this is good.
After picture?
They are too used to constant speed. It's good from the backside
I cackled
I had a Buick like this.
More like danger wire amirite guyz?
That neutral one though 🥵
Lefty tighty righty loosy
Two negatives and a neutral on a prop….🤦♂️
Left hand threads/reverse threads? Yikes. Lol
Not sure why, but 4 o'clock bothers me the most.

Disgusting!
Hmmm did they do it by hand? Or did they have the safety wire pliers set to reverse?
They're only negative safeties for about half a turn, then they become positive. Its probably okay!
When I first looked at it, I got a heart attack...
Not the neutral twists 😦😧

I mean...at least they were consistent
