As long as you can tighten it back down without an issue, then no problems.

Did you loosen it for something or did it just come loose?

What's "loose"??


The outer ring for the belt drives, that bolt to the inner hub, or the inner hub that bolts to the crank?

Not the 3 outer bolts but the one on the inside of the balancer.
