Default I Cant Tighten My Flywheel

Hi All!!
Im trying to replace my flywheel/Slipper Clutch on my 2003 2.5 T-Maxx. But when I tighten it up the whole axel spins ,and I cant loosen it either. Now here is whats weird. I already took off the old gear with no issue. Now I have the new one on about 3 threads inpast the top of the nut. Am I doing something wrong? The manual does not tell me squat.
Please help me Obiwan, your my only hope :P

Wont work, the axel is spinning when I turn the nut. The gear holding is not an option here. When I hold the gear it just stays still while the axel turns .

You're talking about the spur gear. And it sounds like you forgot to replace the friction pegs. These things: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJK92&P=M


Here's an article on how to change the spur gear on your t-maxx: http://www.traxxas.com/support/index...&cat=35&id=289
