Hi Christopher,

Please do check that the staking has been released fully as above. I recently removed the front driveshaft nut (350 Nm) easily using an appropriate tool. The rear hub nut's torque is lower than that at 210 Nm. The garage may have exceeded that figure but I doubt that threadlocking compound alone is responsible.

Due to the staking, the original nut should not have been re-used. The staking process can distort the nut's thread with the risk of damage to the shaft's thread if re-used. I suspect that is why you've broken two of your breaker bars.
