There's a socket for it. Good luck figuring out which one it is at the parts store as they literally have no idea. At least at the one here.

Do you have the spanner nuts with the four notches for the manual hubs, or the big hex nut for automatic hubs?

Torque the inner nut to 50 ft. lbs, to seat the bearings. Back it off and re-torque it to 30-40 ft. lbs. While rotating the hub, back it off 90 degrees. Put the lock washer in with the key in the groove of the spindle and check for alignment on the lock pin on the inner nut. Tighten the inner nut until the lock pin lines up with the nearest hole on the lock washer. Put the outer nut on and torque it to 160-205 ft. lbs.
