You've lost it 3 times? If it were me..I'd be replaceing everything and torque it to the correct specs.

Hi,
Stop talking here and go Torque the various bits properly after drying them IE nof oil. !!!!!!
Wet torque will not be correct but dry torque is what is quoted in the manual !

They might have been over-torqued at one time or another and stripped out a little. That would make them loosen very quickly. Threadlock might help, but I would do some closer inspections of the threads.
