And in addition to making the marks, others have cautioned you need to count the number of turns it takes to remove the nut in order to get it back on in the exact position. Counting may be difficult if it suddenly breaks free with the impact tool.
Thanks everyone. I've found that, assuming the nut is clean, just marking between the nut and shaft itself then snapping a photo will usually make it self explanatory the number of turns required. Of course this assumes the mark won't get worn off when you unscrew the nut, which could happen with these lock nuts. Even then counting the number of threads in the photo will usually get you back on track.
Am going to HF tomorrow to get a bigger breaker bar and also an exact 1-3/8 socket unless I can find one to borrow (was using a 1-7/16)
