You should never grease either the shaft, prop or nuts. The prop-to-shaft tolerances are so fine that adding a layer of grease means the prop may not seat properly. In addition, you do not want these part to be easily removed. You want them to want to stay in place. When it comes time to remove them, the proper tools will make short
work of it, even if they've been installed dry. Why would you intentionally facilitate the prop moving around or the nuts backing off easily?
