Abstract: An aircraft spinner assembly includes collar stud joints connecting spinner to forward flange connected to fan rotor disk. Collar stud joint is operable to push out spinner when stud is un-torqued. Collar may be attached to stud disposed through spinner bolt hole in spinner and collar disposed in counterbore of spinner bolt hole. An aft stud thread on collar stud may be threaded into aft nut which may be swaged into flange bolt hole in forward flange. A washer may be in counterbore between collar and spinner and made from low friction and/or sacrificial material. A forward radial clearance may surround stud between stud and spinner. A forward nut may be threaded onto forward stud threads on forward end of the collar stud and abut spinner. External aft stud threads may be on collar studs and threaded into internal flange threads within flange bolt holes in forward flange.
