First thing I would try is tightening the joint back up as Vic suggested.

If that fails, you can use a Dremel (high speed drill) with a small cutting
wheel to make a screwdriver slot in the end of the threaded part.    That
way you can hold it against the action of the  nyloc nut.

Why do things like that only happen to the GOOD parts?????
