    I was taught (a long time ago at Doncaster British Rail workshops) that if
    the nut didn't line up with the tab correctly, that you filed the mating face
    of the nut until it did, thus making for a tight fit. Backing off the nut was
    strictly forbidden.

    P.S. This was in the days of Deltics and English Electric Type 3s. No steam
    engines, I'm not that old.
