disassemble and clean the collet, shaft and flywheel recess well. Reassemble, tapping the
flywheel down onto the collet so it grips a little - or enough anyway so that you can
tighten the nut down without the shaft rotating freely inside the FW. Make sure you get
some loctite on the threads and install the nut. Use a decent pair of Channellock pliers
or Vise-grip pliers to hold the flywheel, and crank the nut tight.

Assuming the collet is the correct size for the flywheel, it should be locked on good.
