[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 52816, member: 456"] If you re not familiar with the C45 spring then one end of it is bent inwards at 90 degrees (a tang) and should go into one of the slots in the nut and the slot in the end of the main shaft. Sometimes the tang breaks off, either wholly or partially, hence no locking. It is easy to bend a new tang if it has broken off. If properly fitted then there is no need for Loctite or any other form of control. It just cannot come undone. I have seen a case where there was a mismatch of main shaft to nut type and the nut would not screw in far enough to allow the slots to line up so that the tang could do its job. Ensure that you do not have a mix of 'C' and 'D' parts. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
