I have a problem - any suggestions

Now THAT is more typical... once they back out they get sheared off and you have to get the bolts out of the holes on the output flange. PITA!

Red Threadlocker and new lockwashers work. I have had less luck with the nordlocks than with the old fashioned split washers and red loctite, myself.

I had that same problem occur while towing our boat out to the Colorado River - all the bolts sheared. What a hassle AND needless to say, it ruined our trip.

Red Locktite should be enough. If that doesn't work you might consider using a tiny tack weld.
