I cleaned the shaft and gear with fast drying electrical cleaner, then torqued the nut to 180 ft.-lbs. No problems as of yet.

I just shoot a little brake clean on the shaft/ inside of the gear, and then blow it out with compressed air. It has worked good so far.

Its a 22 or 24mm thread. If it can't take 180 ft.lbs., then there is a problem.
