And there is my point. If the splines are worn to the point you need to
hyper-tighten them to keep them from moving then they need to be replaced.
I didn't mean to imply that the center lock nuts (knock-ons, knock-offs
whatever) don't need to be tightened. Only that this is not a cure for worn
out splines.
