One issue is that originally Phil instructed all to discard the flat washer and only use the star washer and new full nut.
And to tighten to 'around' 400 lbs/ft.

The reason for discarding the flat washer was so that a full nut could be used as otherwise there is not enough thread on the crankshaft end to make it worthwhile fitting the full nut.

Then the issues started with the nut coming undone and it was discussed at the time that it could be due to the flat washer being discarded. Phil stated it wasn't due to this and entirely due to crank/hub fitment....

I instead reverted my upgrades back to original setup of flat/star/half nut as personally I didn't believe that the missing flat washer wasn't something to do with the failures that were starting to occur, in conjunction with the roller issue.

And now, thanks to this forum, I have learned that Phil is now using the flat washer, discarded the Star washer and using Loctite....
