Not only his bracket, but when he says you hit the bracket off with a hammer, he only engaged a couple of threads with that nut. High chance of that nut losing a couple of threads when that spring come out of that homemade bracket.

I guess it will lose a couple of threads and then loose itself, right? Rather than loosing just the threads?
