WmHorus Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Well I was going to entitle this Continuing Problems with my Nuts but thought better of it. Well After all the adjustments I did and then the Assembly falling off the FlyWheel and fixing that. the End nuts on the Toggle Arms keep loosening and falling off no mater how tight I put them on. Anyone else have this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacock Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The nuts on the tee bolts are used to adjust the spring tension. the most common method of locking them is put 2 nuts on each bolt then hold the nut closest to the arm with a wrench and jam the second nut up against the first with another wrench.

Sounds like you got the picture better than I did, If that is the nuts that are coming loose, you just need to jam them tight. You can also put a lock-washer between them.

Lamey Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I wouldnt use loctite or any other method that would make it difficult to adjust the nuts, as peacock points out this is your spring tension adjustment. Just use a jam nut, real simple effective and proper solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
