Nut on the jackshaft loose?

[Dalooch]

I'm changing the bearings on the jackshaft and the nut was loose on the shaft chaincase side. Is there a torque spec on it? 2nd time in two yrs this has happened. Seems to me a lock nut with a cotter pin should have been used here. Maybe some locktite on it.

Happens a lot and I have asked in other threads if anyone uses Loctite but no replies yet. I think next time I will do that, it's a poor design that is hard to access and needs special tools.

Instead of loctite could also change the nut to the nylon locking type. Those work very well.
