Tempted to order some 32mm and go back to original. Cheaper than the socket!

They were staked then. You should be able to torque the nut up with the wheel off.

Yeah, that's not the problem. The problem is that I like to use the hub nut when I periodically check the viscous coupling. Using a wheel nut uses too much torque for the recommended wheel nut setting.

You shouldn't need to put anything like 80 lb ft on a wheel nut to test VCU. From memory test force is 15 lb ft direct on VC flange nut. So 3.54 X 15 = 53.1 lb ft on drive shaft nut. A lot less on a wheel nut because of it's distance from hub centre.

I think that's what a staked nut is.

I was expecting a stake or pin through.
To be fair the first time I just tightened it up until the indentation was lined up again and then banged it back in.
