Hmmmmm.....done LOTS of these over the years and never had one loosen
up (usually use an impact gun to put 'em on). One thought: if the
key has been lost or sheared, then the pulley could turn in relation
to the crank and gradually loosen the bolt. I would check out that
possibility. If that's not the issue, you might use a little
"Loc-Tite" on the threads....be sure to use the formulation that
permits disassembly. Don't know the torque specs for that...I would
guess 60-80 ft-lbs.
