On another note, quick props to the lock washer that has given me, at least a temporary, reprieve from my loose crank arm. I inserted it between the bolt and the inner casing and it held firm all day, and I expect it to continue to do so. But I know that I can't continue to rely on it indefinitely. And that I'll need to look into a more permanent repair.
