I agree re the calked nut but it would be very hard to do a proper job of calking it on both sides in situ; the metal takes a fair whack to deform.
I also did not have a part number to find this nut; perhaps you have this?
I suggest that this is the original nut fitted at the factory in 1998 and the torque used was hugely more than the 94 ft/ibs recommended. Has anyone heard of one of these loosening? It certainly would not loosen with factory calking and torque but I guess there is a chance when refitted.
Ideally the flange should have been replaced too but hoping to get away with the refurbed original.
I could really do with a Jimny part number reference manual; is one available?
