Tab washer issues

[ssevy]

I took the sprocket cover off today to replace all of the seals and o rings as I had a small oil leak. Once I got the thing apart, I noticed that my tab washer had one tab nearly torn through and the other not touching. I replaced the chain and sprockets last year, and I am sure that I torqued the nut and bent up the tab that aligned with the bolt flat. I think I reused the old tab washer, so Maybe it is just metal fatigue? In any case, I have a new output shaft seal and tab washer ordered. The front sprocket was still pretty tight, with just a tiny amount of play, but the sprocket doesn't show any strange wear, so I'll probably just reuse it.
Leaving on a long trip next Tuesday, so naturally I am scrambling last minute to get my maintenance done

True. Last one I put on was either circular or hexagonal.
