I beg to differ, first chain change (so originally done up by suzuki), nut was loose!
I made sure that it was torqued up, nutlocked and properly tabbed.
By the second chain change the nut was loose again!
I did have a scottoiler on it though, first chain lasted 18k, second lasted 10k before I swapped it for a 520 chain with lowered gearing.
Now if it's been recently serviced they *should* have checked the nut and tightened it up, if it's been a while then it might be loose.

I wouldn't use your torque wrench to undo it, it's an easy way of screwing the wrench up. A long breaker bar may do it, or find someone with an gun that you can borrow.

I've done it before with a 300Nm torque wrench before, whack it up to 300Nm, reverse the direction and use it as a wrench, not recommended though.
