Well folks, so got to have at it this evening.
Thankfully,my earlier stopgap fix (basically just blue loctite and tighten it as mup as it would go) held up okay.
Undid the lock washer,old 9mm nut wasn't loose but did break free with not a huge amount of pressure.
Same thing as a week ago - loose for a turn,then socket on to turn it off.
Cleaned the thread and popped the new lock washer and 12mm nut on.
Socket was needed to get it on right from the start.
Got it nipped up then on to the torque wrench.
Started low (50nm) working my way upto to the recommended 90nm.
All seems good thankfully!
Will check it on Sunday when I'm cleaning/adjusting the chain.
I did use thread locker (more precisely,studlock - bondloc b270)
I went into an auto factors and asked for green loctite (270 according to Google) " what,I've never heard of that" was the reply
So he sent me to an engineering/agri supply place nearby and when I asked for "green loctite, 270" that was what I got.
Hopefully it's not overkill strength wise or I'll be cursing myself when i go to change the sprocket...time will tell I suppose
Will try figure out how to post some pics up.
