FWIW the use of a nyloc nut is not a good idea in a high heat environment like brakes. A steel lock not (the type with "fingers" on the outside edge) is a good idea. It should not loosen as long as there is a washer beneath the nut in case the bolt rotates. Steel lock nuts are a fairly common item in aircraft uses and have a very good record in my experiance.
