A little education goes a long way! Thanks for clarfying the staking issue. I now understand what's going on. The nut is staked so it can't back out, but it has a little play, which allows the wiggle. Thanks. At this point, in answer to my original question, "Is this normal?? it would appear that it is just that. I will, nonetheless, keep an eye on it, but I see no reason to remove it at this point in time.

I believe I will pursue the additional tools. Any reasonable source for these? I'll probably check the usual sources like Brownells, but if there is a better place, let me know

Thanks again to all
