Try and stay away from doing it that way these days , same as using a punch on the front lock nuts ....

nah mate it doesn't involve a hammer or butchering anything up , you stick 2 largish possi drive screwdriver's or similar into 2 of the locating holes on the lock nut and hold both handles together in one hand, you stick the third large screwdriver between the other 2 screwdrivers as a lever and use it to turn them and the lock nut to wind it up nice and snug, only takes 2 seconds and works well or if you've got a spare hour while the missus is watching shorty st you can knock up a tool out of a bit of scrap lying around the shed you only need an offcut of 6mm steel some thin rod for the pins and an old 1/2 socket to weld onto it to attach your ratchet or torque wrench if you want to torque it to mr toyo's specs
