What does anybody think about tapping the nut at the collar and running a set screw into the keyway on the axle shaft?

Ooh, that sounds like a good idea! I was going to go the locktite route but I like the set screw idea much better. The hardness of the shaft means the set screw should not damage the shaft at all.

The trick is you'll have the install the nut first. Mark where the set screw needs to go then remove and drill / tap it and reinstall. A bit tedious, but good piece of mind.
