Feckin' Crank Pully

[Delboy]

Alright, since i put my crank pully back together and re assembled everything the bolt doesnt stay tight. It keeps loosening slightly and cuaing a bit of vibration at low revs. Do i need to get a new bolt or is there something i can do to stop it from loosening. Its really startin to pi$$ me off. Help me please, my truck sounds like an old banger when i'm stopped at traffic lights.

You could try a drop of 'Loctite thread lock' on it . This dries on threads when tightened but still lets you remove bolt when required later on .

Don't forget the nut lock glue - it really will make all the difference.
