[Elecraft] (K3) loose front panel microphone jack

[Gary K9GS]

Hello all,

I noticed right before FD that my K3 front microphone jack is loose.  
I'm aware of the "washer" problem but think that was in earlier K3s.  My 
K3 is ~ S/N 5400.

So, two questions:

1)  How difficult is it to get to the mounting nut to tighten?  Is this 
a 1/2 hour job or are we talking about setting aside a couple of hours?  
Any helpful hints?

2)  Any hints on how to prevent this from happening in the future? 
Lock-tite??  Is there a recommended torque spec the factory uses?

I rarely operate phone and when I do I usually use the rear jacks. But 
I'd still like to get this fixed.
