some may agree some not, ive put quite a few flywheels on with an impact, i just spin the nut on till the impact starts hammering it down stop and give it another quick shot. i give the shaft a thin coat of anti seize and impact the bolt down,it goes on straight, never had one come loose or sheer the keeper key, thats just what ive done and never had a problem

This also has me nervous about breaking something, did you torque your nut or just get it tight?

Torqued, 80 ft lbs. Did this twice and it worked loose. Since I put on t drop of thread locker, hasn't came loose yet.
