You shouldn't need a socket as the nut should NEVER be tight. Just tighten until all slack is taken out of bearings then back off the tiniest
amount . Over tightening the nut will cause the bearings to sieze and possibly shear the stub axle . Saw the results of overtight hub nut years ago on
a Ford Anglia. Stub axle sheared and inner bearing friction welded to remains of stub axle .
