edit: If you have quick release then that's not a problem. It's supposed to be a bit loose when not engaged.
Yes, it's secured with nuts.
When installed, I shake the wheel and it moves a bit side to side.
Do I need to take the freewheel off to do this?
Is it a case of just tightening them against each other?
