[Elecraft] KX3 2M module SMA connector loosening

[Don Wilhelm]

Ryan,

You need 2 wrenches (not pliers) - preferably thin ones.  Tighten the 
nut down until the lockwashers bite into the KX3 enclosure metal so the 
teeth have good conductivity to the enclosure.

I've already had to open the case and almost completely uninstall the transverter once (undoing and redoing everything except the internal coax connections) just to retighten the nut, and it's already worked itself loose again. Does anyone have a trick they used to keep the nut from loosening? I can't get a lot of leverage with needlenose pliers
