By all means put plenty on the nut but it won't stop this problem<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--coloro:#000000--><!--/coloro-->True, and Not once the sprocket has been allowed to rock n roll!which is the reason to loctite the nut in the first place the tab washer does allow slight movement once the rocking movement of the sprocket is transfered through washer to nut! yes indeedy seen it so many times. loctite wil stop this <!--colorc-->

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE<!--quotec--><!--coloro:#FF0000--><!--/coloro-->Its the back and forth rocking of the sprocket on the splines that needs to be eliminated<!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc-->, which the Loctite 638 does by forming a thermoset plastic in the gaps between shaft and sprocket and hence stop movement<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--coloro:#000000--><!--/coloro-->Erm this is what i have been saying ,Stop the baggy nuts in the first instance and you stop the sprox rocking forces<!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc-->.

638 is robust enough not to get destroyed by the forces of acceleration and deceleration, where as the stuff you buy in Halfords etc is just crap (Loctite Stud 'n' Bearing for instance) and will get destroyed by the forces involved
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The stud n bearing fit is adequate for its intended porpoise!

People of the world lock up your nuts!
Bye bye
