Shit- you're right... Clicked as soon as I read that... OP, my bad on the socket size.
I will respectfully disagree regarding reuse of axle nuts; and I have seen plenty of folks do it without issue... Hell, I've done it myself... However, I'm surprised to hear that from you. Once I realized they were one-time use, I never did it again... and put 2 & 2 together as to why I've had a couple come loose on me back in the day. Good thing for retainers/cotter pins
