Different from previous methods posted which had the safety wire on the other side of the spinner, which when the safety wire went "loose" it was an indication the spinner was coming loose.

Yes. Think of it as if you tied the safety wire on the spinner, and then used the wire to pull the spinner around to tighten it. And then when tightened, you used the safety wire like a bungie cord to hold the spinner in place.
