The axle nut is something crazy. I think its 125 lb-ft + another 1/4 turn, then swage the nut on.
#5 in the pic is the wheel stud, and you just press those into the hub then torque the wheel on to 80 lb-ft as usual,

Its a swaged nut, you effectively destroy its reusability when you swage it.
Swaging it (or "punching it") is a safety feature that locks the nut in place. It keeps it from backing out.
