Reply to "Tighten rear axle nuts with a “torque multiplier”?"

Thanks JFB and Bosswrench . Ok - have gone with the axle washer rounded lower surface matching the curved inset on the mating half shaft hub and the raised face of the nut facing to the inside of the assembly mating to the flat back of the axle washer. It seems to make the most sense and it pulled up well. I pulled them down to 350 Ft/lbs.

I don't think they are coming loose anytime soon. Workbench is pretty solid but it started to move a bit - ML63 became a handy bench backstop!

Also attached a picture of the vice mounting jig I made up for the hub. It is heavy high density fiber board around 22mm thick and it had no issue with the loads. And it is pretty kind on the wheel studs.
