...I did something similar Steve using a Land Rover hub socket as a basis
(ignore the studs ? I converted the tool for another purpose altogether!)

Mike, I have a Craftsman 2-3/16" socket (3/4" drive) that I modified to fit the
octagonal hub nut (photo attached). You are welcome to use it for the cost of
postage to and from. I also have some written procedures that I put together
for removing and replacing the rear hub bearing.
As far as the torque is concerned, there is no published value for torque on
the nut that I am aware of. I tighten as much as possible manually, then give
the wrench a couple medium whacks with a hammer before bending over the locking
washer.

Where can I get a 2 3/16th hub nut socket for the 8 sided axle nut? I also
understand this nut should be torqued down to 180+ ftlb of torque.
