Just tighten it with the wrench. It's not like you can make it worse by re tightening the thing. Just don't over do it. Hand tight with the proper wrench is fine.

Jeez, tighten it using normal pressure. The bigger the wrench the more pressure the nut gets. So just use normal pressure. Then in the future if it's loose again take the thing off and look at the part and see whats wrong. It's not rocket science to tighten a bolt.

Sorry, I went on a long winded post about what you'd need to do if the bearing was loose and submitted before I realized that you said your nut was loose!

Don't mind me... Just being a fool yo!
