the aftermarket industry sure sells a lot of sprocket bolt kits
The 950 doesnt fly much but a loose sprocket bolt can be catastrophic. I have about 4 changes on mine using blue locktite

Several aircraft accidents (Canadian TSB Report A97O0055) and aircraft control problems (C-130 aileron) caused by lock nuts coming loose have challenged the idea that lock nuts can be reused.
Air Force T.O. 1-1A-8 now states: "New self-locking nuts shall be used each time components are installed in critical areas throughout the aerospace vehicle" This seems a more practical policy given the low cost of a lock-nut.
