[Healeys] Happy Canada Day

Was just in there myself; now I know why that nut has to be torqued to 
150lb-ft IIRC.  I don't see the large flat washer that goes under the 
nut, did you lose it?

Can't help with the shaft/nut size; I remember thinking it looked very 
similar in size to the nuts on the front axle bearing shaft. If no one 
can supply the correct answer, you could use a caliper and one of these:
