Pain in the rear problem.

Any Idea's would be appreciated.

what pre load are you running Les ? i think Rodney had this issue too, and the lack of preload he was using allowed it to unwind. if that is not the issue, you can use blue loctite and let it go off. the new flywheel nuts have a red coating on them, this tends to lock them on when wound up. can always ring me as well when you get stuck.
