Buy a Toyota hub socket, about $20 or so off EBay.
When tightening it all back up, tighten your inner nut up, spin the wheel, back it off 1/4-1/2 of a turn, put your lock washer in, and put the next nut on, tighten it tight.
Easy task.
Some say he knows two facts about ducks...and they're both wrong.
Do not tighten bearings and back them off, this method of bearing adjustment stopped being used about 40 years ago. Bearings are set with a preload. Buy a manual, it will explain this job in terms that even a beginner will easily be able to understand. It will even give you the preload setting.

You dont understand how hard it is to tell that old-school mechanics that still think HQ's, XY falcons and distributor points are the shit.
And yeh, the lux has a preload setting, off the top of my head its about 4kg starting force from the wheel stud. But if you have a little bit of resistance trying to turn it then your on the right track, if you need a lever bar between the studs to turn it you have gone way too far.
I agree, you need preload, however you have to tighten up the bearing tight to begin with so you seat it correctly, and work out the excess grease.
turn it several times whilst its done up tight.
Then back off, and THEN set to the correct preload, which is best measured by using a fish scale or equiv.
