Ok sparker, seems like a couple of things going on here, why did you strip the thread, was the nut bottoming out on the end of the thread before it tightened down on the flywheel, this could account for the broken keyways with the flywheel not being tightened down properly. Does it need a washer under the nut that can fit over the end of the shaft, not just over the threaded section
