Driveaxle/hub nut part number?
I'm replacing my LF hub/bearing unit and according to what my Chilton's guide says I need to replace the hub nut. I've looked everywhere and haven't been able to find a part number for it and the part store peeps have been useless.
Does anyone have a part number I can reference? I only know that its a 32mm nut.
The trucks an '02 Fx4 if that makes a difference.

I don't know the size or part number but I understand the manual saying to replace them as a liability issue more then a mechanical one.
In a perfect world you would think a new one would come with the wheel bearing if it was really all that important.
I can't tell you it is ok to use the old one again, only that I do, I will inspect it to see if the threads have stretched but I remember back when I was doing my apprenticeship as a machinist, the books says 50 % internal threads of a nut will strip a 70% thread on a bolt of similar material. With that logic it seems the manual would require the replacement of the axle not the nut. I am sure the material that the axle and nut are made of would be different.
I would go ahead and use it torque it to spec and worry about getting a new one later. Thats just my opinion!

Thanks for the response. I was thinking a long those same lines, just install the old one and hope I have no problems. The parts guy at napa told me pretty much the same thing, and that the nut usually comes with the new CV. I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
