My bad I read it wrong, thought you said hub won't go back on.

If the nut doesn't go back on you can stick on any nut (that fits and tightens obviously) as a temporary measure. Mine had a normal nut on there until I found out and swapped it.

Don't force it then, you might end messing the shaft thread up and causing more expensive damage than just a bad nut.

Do what I said, so you can drive to a car parts place and get a shaft nut or just get one online and wait a few days.

No idea what thread it is mate, sorry! (30mm socket required though)

Well I bought that kit I linked you too which came with the bolt. Nut( :grin:) sure where to buy it from on it's own, but my first guesses would be GSF and ECP.
