    Yes, you stake the nut at the groove. Not sure what you mean by making a new one on the bolt? If you are reusing the nut, stake it where it ever it needs to be after torquing & backing off. Don't try to line up the nut where it was originally staked to restake at that spot. Supposed to replace the nut & looks like you did.

    So I spiked it an assembled it back then just hand tightened the bearing mounting bolts and got in the truck an ran it slowly with the wheels off the ground. Got out an torqued it. Hopefully it found its center position
