    TC Diff Lock Lever Nut

    Hi All,
    After unlocking the diff lock again (Just Changed Oil) with the old 13mm, it seems the nut has come Loose as Ive needed to unLock it alot Latly.

    So to unlock the centre diff the hut/Lever needs to be turned anticlockwise, so of course loosens the nut......So whats the best way to retighen?

    I was thinking of locking diff lock, use vice grips to make sue it doesnt move , take nut off, clean the whole are and locktight nut back on.

    I cant remember the number locktight I have but its a bearing type (used for Alt end bearing in housing), so its not a full on never move again type........good idea or not?

    Or best just to tighen very tight so when I need to unlock it wont move again?

    The nut fixes a lever to the top of the shaft.

    Tighten the nut, then push/prise on the end of the lever to rotate the shaft to disengage the diff lock.
