Exactly what part is loose? Where is the grease escaping from? Does the grease escape from the dial or from the outer housing?
Are the o-rings installed?
Maybe a pic or two could help describe.

the whole lockout housing is loose, the grease is coming out between the lockout housing and the hub. the old lockouts has a bunch of gasket maker around the housing so im assuming it was a problem before also...
