New nuts come with the right loctite on them, and they are ...

well, they mess with the end so it bites when it goes on. I'm not sure what its called.

While using good loctite on it, it still might be a little sloppy.
I'd just grab a new one IMHO.

I was taught to always replace with new for stuff like pinion nuts.

Just the way they are designed and crimped to help them hold on.
