is it 80mm long, coz if it isnt, it will bottom out on the stub axle before the nut gets tightened.

I have seen those box spanners ‘adapted’ by welding a strap over the top and then welding a 1/2 knackered socket onto the strap.

measure from the bottom of the nut to the tip of the stub axle = that is the minimum depth required.

box spanners are perfect for the double nuts, a socket is more ideal for td5 single nut

either works
But I'm guessing you feel when bearings seated by experience? I don't have that experience so have to go by book to rule out user error

yes, but its not difficult to feel when adjusting nut till free play is just removed after first nipping up the nut then backing off, then tightening the second nut tight before locking tab washer over bothBut I'm guessing you feel when bearings seated by experience? I don't have that experience so have to go by book to rule out user error
the book used to leave some free play which is not what you want
My only worry was bearing seating to be honest. I know if I hit 60 I have seated them right. Am I correct in saying adjuster nut and locking nut are identical? The thrust washer that came doesn't even fit either which was annoying. Old one was still fine but like using new bits as all else is new!

I wonder why? Maybe it had something to do with the thermal expansion characteristics of the assembly?

nuts are the same, as long as outer races are fully seated just nipping the bearing first is enough no exact torque is needed,thrust washers are fine to use again i usually do theres the early slot type and later d type
