A locking fastener includes a fastener body (42), a locking band (44) within the fastener body, and a retainer (96) secured to the fastener body to retain the locking band within the fastener body. The locking band includes first and second tangs (72, 74) that fit within recesses (62, 64) in the fastener body to limit angular movement of the tangs. The tangs and the recesses are dimensioned to control the torque required to remove the fastener from a threaded member. The retainer defines a central circular hole corresponding to the diameter of a threaded member on which the fastener is mounted. |
